Spice Racks – Project of the Week
This week’s project was submitted by Rick. Let’s see what he has to say:
“Here are two spice racks that I recently finished. I had previously built two of these about fifteen years ago. They were much simpler, made of pine, no drawers and put together with hand nailed finish nails and no glue. My wife’s sister asked me if I would make her another one since she had to abandon hers after their last move and I had to leave mine many years ago. They are made as sisters to one another as the main wood of one is the highlight of the other and vice versa. One is made of wenge, shedau, with highlights of bubinga. The other is made of bubinga, canary, with highlights of wenge. They are finished with 5 coats of gloss wipe-on poly and satin shellac for the inside of the drawers. Both are designed to sit above a stove resting behind and on the control panel (The drawers sit directly on top the control board). This is the first project that I have ever done using only wood joints and glue without the use of mechanical fasteners. Marc, thanks for letting me share my project with you and your fans and again thanks for the help. I don’t know if you have ever used shedau, but if you do, wear a mask…it smells like you’re cutting dog poo!!!”

They look nice as far as I can see. The pictures might do them justice if they were a little bigger.
Nice looking spice racks. After seeing this and the gadget station I will have to look around for some bubinga.
Tell me more about the mechanical fasteners. My guess is you used dove tails on the boxes and sliding dove tails for the shelves.
Turtle- By mechanical fastners I meant that there are no nails or screws. I used predominately mortise and tenon for the case construction and rabbits for the drawers, tenons for the drawer pulls.
Sorry about the small picture size, thats all I have and I just sent them to Marc because he had answered a question concerning the finish inside the drawers, I had not expected this – thanks again Marc.
It looks like a nice project but when clicking on the pics I get pics of a nice knife Block:)
Regards,
Michael
One of those weird glitches that resulted from the server move. Should be fixed now.
