![]() ![]() Over two months ago, I lost my everyday knife. But it makes a nice place to keep the bowl gouges… 8 Comments This is 3/4″ standard issue boards – I’d aim for 5/8″ thick. One thing I’d change is I’d plane the stock just a bit thinner. If I get to make another of these sort of boxes, I’d like to see an original first. Why was this box not finished, but it looks like it was used… Someone will have fun when I’m long gone trying to figure out what happened here. it’s all over the box…some finished, some not. Now a view showing the gouges in the box and those underneath in the drawer. Here is that piece removed, showing the bottom of the box compartment, and the drawer below. A little hollow gouged out gives a place to grab it to lift it up. It has a tongue/rabbet at its back face – riding in a slot cut on the inside faces of the box sides. Here you see there are two end boards nearest the camera – the carved one slides upward to access the drawer below the box compartment. this piece is just friction-fit into the box right now. Inside this section is a cross-piece with slots to fit individual gouges. It’s about 8″ high, 10″ wide and 15″ long. The box is from a few years ago, and involves much conjecture. I have collected a range of bowl-carving gouges, and recently I re-purposed an unfinished box with a drawer to house them. I dug out another that is now dried, and worked that along a bit too. It was great fun, so now it will dry and perhaps I’ll even finish this one. I spent some time yesterday hewing and carving out a bowl from a too-large-for-a-spoon crook. ![]()
