C&T challenge entry
Reply #45 - Mar 19^th, 2017 at 7:36pm

I wanted to add a little background and history behind my entry. The material came from a factory located in Fredericton NB. The maple was used for shoe Lasts, I was fortunate enough to find a stash of these and each one holds a suprise. I cannot guess at the age but I know the pieces I have are over 45 yrs since they were in the plant.

The last image shows an example of the material I start with, the walnut came from an organ marked 1897.

The lid is looser than I would like, but I have been having issues with fitments lately. Just means I need more time at the lathe
