From a few old Oaken barn rafters? Yep, after pulling a few pounds of nails, resawing down to about 3/4" thick, and planning down nice and smooth, I wound up with a nice stash of White Oak. Purdy, ain't they? Made a box out of some of the parts
I found a plan by Norm Abram and started to mill up.
Next, a top was glued up, and then flattened out with a few handplanes
a couple planes used
Then time for some stain and varnish
Not too bad? Size is 18" wide (plus overhand of lid), by 40" long (again add a little for the overhang), by 22" tall.
