2008/12/25 Bob Le - Four-cornered End Grain Boxes

Go back to Bob Le's main page.

Boxes with four-cornered end grains. I used the drawing in George Nakashima's book, The Soul of a Tree, (page 124) for reference. Materials: Cherry and old growth red cedar.

01 - George Nakashima's description - "The end grain of each board shows at the corner joints. This joinery requires great skill, since forcing can snap the end grain off."
