Cross Box - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Steviegwood · 02-27-2009, 06:54 PM

Hi Everyone, here is the first one that I have gotten done with this design. The cross box itself was designed by our own bubbantenn at my request. As we collaborated on what I was looking for as a design Bubba came up with two different designs and the second will come soon. I decided to do this out of solid Red Oak and stain every other layer with a minwax Red Oak stain and then I designed the overlay of the three crosses for the lid. On the next one I think that I will use a different species of wood for the overlay to give more contrast between it and the lid. It measures 8"W x 10" L outside and is 3"D on the inside finished with a high gloss spray lacquer. Here are some different angles of the finished box. The finish is not completely cured so I do not have one with the lid on it. There is a 1/8" overlay on the bottom side of the lid that inserts into the box to keep the lid aligned on the box and to keep it from sliding off. Let us know what you think of this design good or bad. Thanks, Steve & Bubba ( Clarence )

Great project. I want to know how you managed to stain the layers without the endgrain becoming so saturated with stain that they almost look black?
