Boxes I.E. More Cubism

[MikeG]

Thanks to John Clark RPM45 and this page for his inspiration:

Exploring Cubes

I have been fiddling about with making cubes out of quarter inch material and a 90 degree bit. Here are a few examples: [cube%20-%204] [cube%20-%203%20(1)] [cube%20-%202] I did a full writeup of the project here for anyone who is interested:

There a link to John’s YouTube videos on that page that are worth watching if you’re interested in making cubes.

The wood for these is from a eucalyptus tree that my neighbor had cut down a couple of years ago and I had milled into Lumber.

And here’s the CC file for anyone that would care to make this design:

@45rpm Really enjoy your creativity and end results, thank you!

These are wonderful! So glad you like the videos. Is that Sapele wood?

Thanks John! It’s actually White Gum Eucalyptus, though I don’t know the specific variety. I planked several trees that the neighbor had had cut down and have been letting it dry for a couple of years. The thicker pieces are almost to the point of being usable. It’s a beautiful and heavy hardwood. So hard in fact that when it’s dry you (well I) can’t drive a nail through it and it must be predrilled!
