The dovetails are done and it is time to work on the bottom which will float in small 1/8” by 1/8” grooves; the long sides were really easy because I could use the plow plane, but for the end pieces I had to go with these shallow mortices; luckily, a sigle pass with the chisel was enough to get to final depth, so it did not take too long. #Dominoes #HandToolsOnly #RedMaple #Maple #MadeByHand #Woodworking
The body of the dominoes box is ready. Time to start working on the lid! #Dominoes #HandToolsOnly #RedMaple #Maple #MadeByHand #Woodworking
Sandwiched in a forest of clamps! The lid of the dominoes box is almost ready; I have made it about 1/32” narrower than the box on each side and have glued on quarter-sawn strips of maple; I really like the look of this maple when quarter-sawn and wanted to have it both on the top and the sides of the lid so it can make an interesting contrast with the sides of the box body. #Dominoes #HandToolsOnly #RedMaple #Maple #BlackWalnut #Walnut #MadeByHand #Woodworking
