A&C Tissue Boxes - Cian - 07-26-2015
Ode to Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style in Spalted Cherry and Tiger Maple.
Finish is two coats of shellac plus paste wax.

Those are too nice for Kleenex. Well done!
Now get to work on a Falling Waters toilet paper holder!

Those will fit right in in an A&C home, Cian. Very nice. The cherry looks more like pitchy cherry than spalted to me, but it works well in either case.

Nice Job Cian!

My only suggestion is next time use some wood with character, that plain Jane stuff is pretty boring
I absolutely love Cherry with gum streaks.
PS I would call that Cherry curly, with gum streaks.
Curly cherry usually is just a blotchy darker patch
Gummy Cherry

How did you make the angled tops?

Cherry and maple always seem to make a nice couple...

The Woodnet braintrust comes through again. Thanks for the clarification on the wood gents. I was struggling with this one a bit. That cherry board has been in my stash for a while and has darkened enough to have me question whether it was a lighter walnut. Pitchy/gummy cherry never crossed my mind - good to know.

I use a tennoning jig. I didnt grab a pic from this time around, but here's one from my past burial urn project:

Nice boxes, Cian.
When I am shopping for cherry, I always keep my eye out for gummy cherry, as my wife prefers it. It does add character.
