Chet Seymour 2nd Place- Wooden Box.
Here is what Chet had to say about hist entry:
"It is a box I built as a gift for my mother. (Killing a couple of birds with one stone. Tick an X-mas gift off the list and completed the challenge in one fell swoop.)
The box is adapted from one that I had seen in Woodsmith Magazine. I needed to alter the dimensions which meant adding quite a bit of steps to creating the top of the box."
The tools I used are:
1 - Table Saw
2 - Band Saw
3 - Jointer
4 - 1/8" Veritas wooden round over plane
5 - Glue
6 - Bessey K-body Revo Clamp
7 - Small Band Clamp
8 - One large rubber band
9 - 220 grit sanding sponge
10 - Sheet of 220 grit sand paper stuck to a 12x12 piece of MDF

Roger Sullivan 3rd Place- Segmented Vase
Here is what Roger said about his entry:
"I used three kinds of wood, maple, walnut and cherry. Each piece measured 7-1/2” square x ¾” thick for a total of 1.17 BF of material.
I used six tools, planer, table saw, drill press, scroll saw, spindle sander and a Mouse hand sander. And a special jig in the form of a “bowl press” for gluing. (That may count as a tool also I guess.) As well as a pencil, straight edge and circle compass.
It took me about three days to build it and two days for finish which was BLO, wipe-on polyurethane and paste wax."
Great job to Rodger, Chet and Roger. These are some amazing projects. Thanks again to the folks over at The Wood Whisperer for the 1 Year Guild Membership. I look forward to the next build challenge, which will be sometime next spring. 4WM
