Best laid plans and all that, a couple of years ago someone delivered a Beech log and asked if I could make them some flat breadboards from it sometime.
Log was duely slabbed about 30mm thick and stored away to dry off in its own time.
Drying gave no traumas regarding splitting or warping significantly but mother nature decided that a little humorous intervention was in order and they all developed a significant spalting, guess the log had picked up enough spores in the woodland or my store was well and truly saturated with them.

So breadboards are out of the window and the someone will have to find a use for a few flat dishes, for holding nuts or dry fruit etc.

This is the first; don't know how many more will survive the gouge.

Just on the verge Eugene, just one spot about 6x3mm on the underside of the last one that is showing a little pit.
A third slab from the log tackled this afternoon was too far gone and found to be playing host to some protein so has made it's mark in the firewood bag.
 
Sorry Eugene, back to boring Boxing again.

Chas,

Question from a learner.

Realise you are a busy chap but as a learner I wonder if you have the time to explain how you do the lid after the box? I know the usual technique of doing the inside of the lid, then the box inside, jam fitting the lid and turning the top side, jam fitting the box and doing the base but yours are done separately and I can't figure it out, sorry to all the experts out there if this seems a simple question but I have to ask.

Andy
