Yesterday I noticed two new tears in my merino neck gaiter (I guess the zipper on my jacket was at fault), so these were promptly covered with two twigs of lavender… which came out more like foxglove plants in the end.

So this was Box № 9.

I think the shop-made plywood went well for this one. Originally it was more of a gimmick and learning opportunity, since I had too many oak veneer lying around, but for small projects it's quite doable to make the plywood yourself.
The solid wood side boards were made from 2 cm thick oak siding, which was quite warped, so only ~10 mm was left in the end. The cracks were filled with black shellac before joinery.

Here is a view from all four sides:

I was meaning to wrap up this thread from June 2024…

The repair from above ⬆️ was trimmed flush, the stopped grooves were re-cut, so they could hold the lid made from shop-made oak plywood. The bottom was made from plywood too, and the box got an inlay in the shape of a block plane, which I had gifted to a family member half a year earlier (and originally I was meaning to finish the box for Christmas as well…). I think I went with linseed oil and beeswax for the finish.

Before 1948, someone once came up with this nice 7-word palindrome:
"A man, a plan, a canal – Panama!"

Then in 1983, someone extended it to 9 words:
"A man, a plan, a cat, a canal – Panama!"

And someone cleverer was able to extend it even further to 13 words:
"A man, a plan, a cam, a yak, a yam, a canal – Panama!"

Then in 1984 someone used Unix, a word list and a search algorithm, and it came up with this 540-word behemoth of a palindrome, which barely fits on my screen:

#woodworking pro tip: read your plans right. Or, in my case, at all. A 4 mm deep groove in a 6 mm thick workpiece doth not a happy workpiece make.

On the upper hand, if you didn't, you'll get a chance to get better at fixing mistakes.
