What Do You Make?

I wouldn't mind setting something up for everyone. I don't want to step on any toes though, so I'd need the owners belssing if it were to be related to this site... I doubt they would be interested, but I am game.
 
Hopefully more on this forum who know how to make treasure related items will post in this thread so we can keep all these great ideas together for a long time to come.

Posting here will put your work (any work) before the people permanently.

What do you make?

Nice holster and swings Buzz, I have a garrett pinpointer coming tomorrow so I'll be busy making a similar holster for it. Will post a pic.

I think it's a beauty of a box! Dovetailed joints, just like the old days!
How did you get such nice carving? Laser cut? Beautiful, though, and a well thought out prize for detectorists. We all love to have a place to put our "treasures".........
 
Vlad, great work on the Box! Very nice. I dont see hickory much in my area. I use pecan for special projects like this. Those finger joints you made look perfect.
 
Thanks guys! The carving is done on a homemade cnc router.
I like hickory too. Also have a stash of 100 year old barn beams (white oak) that farmers around here just take to the dump :shock:

I got the hickory and some cool curly maple at Menards for a quick box material, as far as native woods in our back yard we have ash, and black locust. Black locust, never even heard of it until I researched what the hack was growing in my yard...
The wood is extremely hard, resistant to rot and durable, making it prized for furniture, flooring, panelling, fence posts and small watercraft. As a young man, Abraham Lincoln spent much of his time splitting rails and fence posts from black locust logs. Flavonoids in the heartwood allow the wood to last over 100 years in soil.[6] In the Netherlands and some other parts of Europe, black locust is the most rot-resistant local tree, and projects have started to limit the use of tropical wood by promoting this tree and creating plantations. It is one of the heaviest and hardest woods in North America.

Well be resawing some of that later on to see what it looks like in a finished form.

Didn't realize the garrett pinpointer came with a belt sheath... might not need to make one after all, since its Carol's and she is happy with it
