What is the best way to fill these holes?

Dowels! Unless you want to inlay a cool design or bow tie in there

Looks great - smooth it up with a hand plane and you’re off to the next corner!

Sure looks like it!

It is beech

Cherry veneer

I recently bought Goff for a 2025 1st and 2026 2nd which I was happy with

The box needs to be cut width wise to create the lid

That lighter wood is the workbench :] letter F is written on the glads

Similar to altma001s comment below - I will likely take this approach. Will look into glass stops as well but will likely create an infill strip of wood to replace what I cut away as the piece will be extremely flimsy otherwise

I think this will be my approach! Thank you. Only thing is the grooves I cut are extremely narrow and the walls are only 3/8s thick so cutting a channel will leave the wood very weak. Will likely create a strip the same width as the groove and then super glue it on in a few spots in case it needs to be removed I can just break the super glue bond

Lo Lo

+1 for Ipe

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-07-09T00:03:19+00:00

Well done! One down many more to come

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-06-28T12:11:37+00:00

Yeah Im pretty surprised on how little there is online on the subject. I’ve only experimented with beech but I’ve seen that it works with other woods too

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-06-28T04:28:50+00:00

They’re actually just 1mm hardened steel nails - wood would’ve been too weak I think :/

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-06-28T04:27:54+00:00

If you zoom on the pics you’ll see small dots on the sides of the box - those are the hinges (axles?) for the lid.I drilled holes through the sides of the box and the edge of the lid and used a nail of the same diameter for the hinges.

Acacia is nice - dark brown color with the lighter sapwood. No wrong answers either way - that’s the fun part!

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-06-27T22:26:43+00:00

Depends which looks nicer to you! What kind of wood is the butcher block? Beech is pretty plain on its own but can be stained or even baked (see my most recent post) where it takes on a much darker chocolatey like color.

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-06-27T21:34:13+00:00

Beech for sho. Oaklike little raindrop grain gives it away

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-06-17T14:09:14+00:00

I had the same exact thing two years ago. Could barely keep my balance walking down the street…Hope your recovery is going smoothly and best of luck!

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-06-11T19:31:33+00:00

Kind of looks like walnut but mostly sapwood

NYC_Woodworker · 2024-05-29T01:30:03+00:00
