INSANE GRAIN DOVETAIL BOX
Hard to imagine such beauty occurs naturally within a tree! This highly figured wlanut and curly maple wood was very challenging to work, swirling diving grain really needed gentle passes with a tight cap iron for sure, but well worth it.
Thanks to Pat and Chris for the wood, you guys are great!

I'm so glad KZread offered closed captions for this video... the saw was described as [Music], the coping saw was [Laughter], and the hammer was [Applause]. KZread appreciates art.

Scott Barber... Your obsevation brought strong to mind a couple a fitting quotes. Thank's for stirrin 'em up. "To be a master of metaphor," Aristotle wrote in his Poetics, "is the greatest thing by far. It is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others, and it is also a sign of genius." & I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like -Dr. Mardy Grothe 82818

Boy, it's really easy to get lost in life's troubles. I asked you about your favorite saw on Instagram today, and long story short, your reply brought me back to this video. I found you a long time ago before my wife and I embarked on our homestead lifestyle, and I watched all of your videos back then. I still follow you on all platforms, but I've been disconnected for years. We're off grid now and doing well......but I have completely lost sight of what my vision was. This has brought me back to it. Iron truly does sharpen iron. Thank you, sir. Keep up the vision...
Mr Chickadee: How you say nothing and yet your videos say so much and I learn so much.
The blend of different styles and techniques, from shaker, to Japanese, and some elements of arts and crafts,,, Well it’s all amazing. Thank you for inviting us all along on your project sir.
If I had 6 months to practice, I don't think I could take a rip saw and rip a board that straightly. Amazing and beautiful to watch. Same reason I could watch Roy Underhill all day (I even like how he breathlessly laughs at his own jokes) - amazing work with handsaws.

Dont be hard on yourself, im sure you could do better than me. It helps to go corner to corner, flip and repeat and back and forth to stay on the line.
How people can put a dislike to your work puzzle me. Your work is so honest and a master craftsmen you are thank you for shearing that 👌
Having done hand-sawn dovetails myself; I really enjoyed watching your techniques in this project. Also the fact that no glues or other adhesives were used in its assembly was interesting. The way the finish emphasised the colours of the two diffenent materials was very nice to see as well. Many congratulations.
I said it before now I MUST say it again...what marble was to Michelangelo, wood is to you!!!! Absolutely exquisite!! I really love how you weave the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi into your creations!!! THANK YOU 🙏
Nice pieces of wood you got there! And what a pleasure to see what you made out of it.
That's like a gorgeous painting, that moment at 14:14. Wonderful video all round.
I watched your Q&A and was left with two questions: where do you get/earn money and what form of sewage system do you have? You're an inspiration and live up to your goal of showing what people are capable of. I was surprised you'd not grown up as a woodworker but not that you've learned it so well. I have most of the power tools but am working more with my hand tools over the past years so finding your channel came at a great time for me. Peace to you and yours. Thank you.

Hahaha. Love it!
Two beautiful woods coming together in contrasting harmony. For my woodworking walnut is more precious than gold so my wife knows when I'm making her something. Amazing work Mr. Chickadee. Ever since I found your channel you have inspired me to keep on with my woodworking.
Your talents are far beyond just a tradesman, you are true artist in wood. I so much enjoy your videos especially because you don't talk. Its like working with the old timers from our trades in the early years when I work in wood-framing crews, trimmers and such and don't need to be told how its done. I get full and complete enjoyment watching you work while I get to listen to Rush Limbaugh talk. Its great! So many of the KZread presenters can't stop talking and talking down to their audiences. Its like they think we are all a bunch of female-never worked a day in our lives- Libs, Not you....Rock On Mr. Chickadee.
I am 62 years old and have spent the last 30 years of my life as a Millwright. I just really started into detailed wood working with hand and power. You sir are a inspiration and a marvel. Please continue to share. I will subscribe and follow all your work. Thank You very much !!
The beauty of your workmanship and just the sounds of the tools really compliment the natural beauty of the wood. Another stunning piece! Watching you is inspiring me towards giving up all of my power tools. There is nothing more that I crave than the peaceful, quiet sounds of a simplistic life.
A true hand craftsman, thank you for this wholesome content.
I love the contrast between the woods, especially the curly maple.Beautiful.
True Art! Music for my ears when the plane is in action; No power tools, no metal bits - just hands and the skill - insanity.
Absolutely beautiful work. That wood is stunning. Bravo.
Mr. Chickadee, I watch your videos like I was watching a myth or fairy tale; that you live somewhere in the Southern Forests of America, unknown to anyone but a select few, like Santa Claus or Enchanted Elves, pure and unspoiled, refusing to live like the rest, undying in your traditions. You and Tom Fagen, watching your videos is pure meditation...rr Normandy, Fr.

Beautiful box Mr. C! Thank you.
Now that’s nice!! I enjoy seeing your tools as much as what your building!!
Always a pleasure learning from you an your videos. Thank you.
STUNNING...Absolutely amazing! Keep on cranking out these awesome videos...class of Ur own!
Insanely impressive. I love the handle.
A very beautiful grain pattern. stunning work
Another priceless heirloom! I think Kitty agrees. Thanks for the beautiful artwork and craftsmanship, and thanks for the great video too!
Very nice! Particularly liked the handle. Looks great!
WOW that AWESOME wood grain is insane in the membrane!!!
Backwoods tools making Eastern style with panache. Amazing work once again. Beautiful woods made both sedate and flashy. Love it.
The walnut is absolutely superb and I like the grain of the maple even better than bird's eye! When I lived in the Mississippi river valley I had access to a lot of good, tight-grained walnut and it is a dream to work with it. I admire the sharpness of your tools....seems a sharp tool rarely cuts you...it is the dull one that you end up putting too much pressure on that do the harm. You can't impress that on some guys. The handle on the box was just the icing on the cake!
beautiful piece my friend! I really liked the handle, Reminds me of japanese!
Thank you. Very beautiful box nice color contrast. Very good craftsmanship as always. Nice to see you posting more.
Crazy ! In this disposable world your work is comforting! Bravo!
Your work is absolutely amazing! I really enjoy your videos!
That maple looked like a quilt. Absolutely gorgeous! How this channel doesnt have @ least 1M subscribers is beyond me.
That is absolutely beautiful. Phenomenal work, sir.
that was amazing to watch. the old handcraft without any machines or glue etc. a most beautiful piece.
Impressive talent and amazing wood grain. Challenge excepted and completed, beautiful work indeed.
Another absolutely beautiful project. Nicely done, sir.
Beauty and quality workmanship. Nature sure has an amazing array of growth in wood.
Beautiful work!
Very nice. We always love to watch you in your craft.

Amazing work. Enjoyed watching you work.
Excellent design, beautiful wood, and outstanding workmanship. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from you Mr. Chickadee. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Beautiful wood, box and skills.
Killer box! That’s a lot of work that went into that!
This chap is an absolutely awesome woodworker . An old timey woodworker at that.I don't know why he hasn't got 1/2 million subs. ?
Your progress over the years has been amazing to follow! It would be great if we could get a house tour some time soon, to see how all of this stuff is coming together

What can one say but this exhibition of craftsmanship is just simply Beautiful. When it comes to any kind of woodworking with hand tools from finish work to building structures You are the Mark of excellence and The One Who is at The Top of the Grade. You are the Mold the one and only Mold.
Amazing wood and amazing craftsmanship. Merry Christmas
Just absolutely stunning.
Superbe réalisation sans vis, sans colle. Magnifique!
Beautiful chamfers on beautiful wood! At 2 minutes into the video my wife and I each saw a leaf appear in the wood. We thought that maybe it would become a part of the finished box. You have great talent, skills and abilities. Thanks for the video! ....13
I love the handle, beautiful work.
That turned out beautiful Josh, you use so many wedged tenons in your building of almost everything that I’ve started doing the same. Sure saves on glue ☺️. Thanks!

A lovely piece of work. Beautiful woods. It was a pleasure to watch you work. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes. :)
As always, I am completely impressed by your craftsmanship.
Nice video. Wow, the wood looks very nice. The box has become great. That's right, what wood grain has, something you can see first. When you process the wood, smile something is always a surprise. What I think is great, so that each piece of wood looks different.
Nice work very pretty,I've got alot of highly figured boards ,I can not wait to get the time to collect the hand tools and start learning to hands on use the methods I'm learning from your channel,thank you so much for saving this almost lost knowledge
Nice choice of woods for a great project!
Beautiful, a real 'Treasure Chest" !!
Wow that is awesome I love that type of work is just amazing. God bless you always brother.
Pure Artistry...You are a Master. Jealous of your skills.
Wood combination is excellent 👍 Hand work.. Great 👏
Cool wedged handle. Beautiful.
Insane grain and insanely beautiful box, but that handle is even more amazing. Brilliant. And you have nerves of steel driving those wedges.
Realmente me encanta tu trabajo, es de una gran calidad y belleza. Dos maderas excelentes! Gran video! Saludos desde Argentina
Very nice work. I wish I could make something that looks that beautiful.
I have to say i really love wooden boxes (I made some too) and this is really amazing! Good job man!

Me traes tan buenos recuerdos con tus proyectos! Muchas de las herramientas que usas las usaba mi padre en tiempos libres, me crié con él en el taller, él no las compró las tenía de sus ancestros, no se aún de cual.... yo logré salvar alguna de ellas pero no están cuidadas, me encanta ver tus vídeos y al tiempo me siento mal.
That box is beautiful
BEAUTIFUL!! God bless!!!
Beautiful box
I love how the subtitles recognize him sawing as 🎶music🎶. Excellent work, as always.
You're fantastic, I love your works!! I guess how hard could have been to plane such a harsh wood Stefano from Italy
Ah, Mr Chickadee, you're the best!
Just beautiful...
Very nice!😎
