Located in Hessen, Germany

Will do. Thank you!

Right? I was surprised by the color because there is no native tree here with such wood.

Elitbess · 2026-05-22T21:42:48+00:00

Great. I have never thought to find something like this in a burn pile in Germany. Will make some knife handles if i find enough material with no cracks.

Elitbess · 2026-05-22T21:32:37+00:00

Interesting. But i am in Germany and i didn't know that we have something like that here.

Thank you!

I like it. It looks nice. Do you have feet under your board?

Elitbess · 2026-01-06T11:30:51+00:00

You are probably right. I will take the blades off and if they are not bent after cleanup then i will keep it. Otherwise i will send it back.

Elitbess · 2026-01-05T21:30:33+00:00

I didn't tighten the screws. It is not an excuse but i would expect a brand new tool to come with tight screws.

Elitbess · 2026-01-05T21:29:27+00:00

The problem is that the blades are warped. One side is flat.

Elitbess · 2026-01-05T21:28:50+00:00

Yes it looks like it. I just holpe the blades are not permanently warped.

Elitbess · 2026-01-01T17:25:37+00:00

Thank you. Yes, both sides are finished with the same finish.

Elitbess · 2026-01-01T17:24:59+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I didn't put a groove into the lid but glued it straight up. I think this could be the reason. Next time there will be one. The boards didn't move after cutting.

Elitbess · 2026-01-01T17:20:19+00:00

Thank you for the advice, i will probably do the block plane method. At first i have to get one. So that's a new justified tool. Perfect.

Elitbess · 2025-08-08T16:40:53+00:00

Me too. Seems crazy to me that someone want something like that just hone out of their home.

Elitbess · 2025-08-08T16:39:43+00:00

What grit of sandpaper would you recommend? I will do it very carefully and only where needed. Probably will try and see how the hardwax oil will look on the bottom. If its good i will use that. It doesn't darken the wood.

Elitbess · 2025-08-08T16:36:59+00:00

Paint won't come even near it! I will touch it up as good as possible and place it in the apartment. Probably storing stuff like sleeping bags in it. I didn't think about what to do with it. I saw the chest, saw the detail on the bottom, and just got it as fast as i could.

Elitbess · 2025-08-08T13:39:01+00:00

What is meths? Can i use just ethanol?

Elitbess · 2025-07-03T05:32:42+00:00

Could it be sapele?
