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!

    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...

    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.

The way the finish emphasised the colours of the two diffenent materials was very nice to see as well. Many congratulations.

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.

    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.

    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!
