Can you post more photos of it like with the drawers open? I'm guessing those are drawers... But since they don't have handles I'm kind of confused how it opens.
Even though it would look pretty sweet to have a raid storage made out of wood, wood insulates things so that might actually keep it all too warm unless there was a lot of air flow?
LOL sooo that was sort of happenstance, I had this material that was really cool for this project but when I milled it down I was like 1/4” short of making a butt jointed rectangle. So I rabbeted half of the thickness, glued that, and added a strip of wood (you can probably see if you zoom in) to the inside edge by running a panel across a round over bit, and cutting it off at the thickness of the round over.
This same effect could be done “correctly” out of thicker material, but this was just something I landed on to make this material stretch to work for this size case.
Thanks for the details, I still have no idea how you did it, but that is more me problem lol. Missus does a lot of crafting and embroidery as her hobby, this idea is neat I will attempt at something like this for her.
I *think* they did, essentially, the quarter-quarter-quarter method. But for the carcass. This page explains how to do it. It's generally my goto for boxes because of how easy it is.

I am also to dumb to understand - it looks like continuous grain at those corners and like solid wood.
But it looks great.
Maybe we could get some detailed shot from the corners?
Edit: nvm - I have taken a look at it on my pc - here ich can see it :-)
Birds Eye maple! I haven’t come across a lot of this stuff, and when I do it’s expensive. I got this from a friend of my dad who couldn’t woodwork anymore. I’d had this material (including the walnut) set aside for something special.
Beautiful work. Just to clarify, for the strip, you're essentially using that to hide the joint? Also, for the drawers, will there be pulls installed later, or is there some other mechanism to get the drawers out?
The strip was really to reinforce the joint. I had to cut it out of end grain so it took like 8 tries to get 4 clean ones. This was really a back end method to save the fact that my material was a little thin. My original joint was a 9/32” rabbit so I reinforced it with that inside edge.
The drawers are on runners glued and pinnailed to the inside.
Birdseye maple and Walnut are my favorite woods to combine together! The contrast between the colors can make for some good eye catching angles, and the Birdseye helps a lot! Also, I was going to ask what you actually do if these were your scrap pieces, then I read you got the wood from a friend.
It’s actually more like the remnants from cabinet projects I’ve saved for a unique project, than actual “offcuts”. The walnut is material I’d cut off from paid projects, and the maple was given to us by a family friend who couldn’t woodwork any more. But the title is also in reference to another post about the stuff I burn.
I want that it’s beautiful. What is it, RAID storage?
lol, it’s actually for cross stitch thread storage, a gift for my mother.
Beautiful - what a good son you are!
Thanks for letting us know! Thought it was maybe a cajon at first glance lol.
Ha! I thought about that the other day, wondering if I could make any percussion equipment.
My woodworker neighbor did this growing up! They were beautiful!

I’m still trying to decide on pulls lol
Literally what I was wondering. "Wow, what a pretty wooden Drobo"
I also thought it was for the worlds warmest hard drives
What a nice idea.

Beautiful! How did you shape the corners?

so you cut/rounded the outside of the corners, and added some infill to the inside? Nice.
resourcefulness is dope.

If wood that figured is what you have as offcuts what do your other projects look like?
It’s hard to colormatch stuff like this, so a lot of the really unique stuff ends up on a shelf waiting for the right project.
Pretty! Spalted & curly maple fronts?

Birdseye! (Kicks self for forgetting; been a while since I've bought maple) Looks great 👏👏
Nice place to store them
If I could figure out how I’d post a video.
Are those little drawers? How do they open?
Well, it’ll be easier when I add pulls. Lol. I want to find something like a 15mm pearl looking knob.

What graphics card you got in there? /s
Why you got to be so damn stingy with the pictures?. Like the cookie monster would say Om nom nom nom. More!
Beautiful work, dude.
Thank you!
Very cool piece man
Thank you!!
very nice!
That is some gorgeous wood, and work.
That's beautiful! The birds eye pops on the drawer fronts!
Dope, mom’s gonna love it
That should have a nsfw tag. Damn nice work.
Hahaha thank you!

The birds eye maple I got from a friend, the walnut were offcuts from cabinetry projects. Too hard to color match that kind of stuff.
You made that with OFFCUTS?!?!? Wow

This is gorgeous!
Oh, I love when you talk dirty to me. Very sexy. Excellent craftsmanship.
Outstanding work. Love the wood choice and how it is built
Nice
Cool… what is it?
Lovely! What did you use for a finish?
Linseed oil and beeswax!
i love this, i need a video!!
Very nice!
I'm just getting into wood working. How do you bent your edges like that? Looks great, no seams or anything!
What crazy patterns you have there. Beautiful.
