A box for two goblets

Top is poplar, sides and base are pine, stained with a homemade walnut-husk stain.

The wood is Planed and left with that surface, which ha a great feel to it, with slight undulations. The sides are rebated for one another, the base and lid are rebated to accept the sides. They are glued with round-headed nails, as the smallest cut nails I had would have split the box to pieces. Though not quite period I like the way they look.

The warm and the white

Grilling in the snow! 55 degrees f!

Trestle table legs

Done! I might want to remake the top pieces, I don't like the angle of the holes.

Trestle table legs II

Old fence rails shaved down to be legs for the trestle table.

Start
Six passes
Twenty six passes gives a reasonably flat surface, so I flip it over to work on the opposing side. The peak has been lopped off with a hatchet.

Many passes with the plane gets that surface reasonable. Now I'm debating if I want to try to get two legs out of this..

It's three inches wide which would make it One and a half, minus the kerf. The holes in the too pieces are one and a quarter, so that doesn't leave much margin for cleaning up the sawn face. And it wouldn't leave much for the legs to be rectangular...
