How fabulous to turn a little bit of wood into a beautiful giftbox or place to stash your emergency $20 bill?

DO NOT BE SCARED OFF by the length of the instructions – there are a lot of steps but its a very simple concept. Once you have it figured out, its not at all difficult. All you need is bit of log, a band saw, wood glue, clamps and a pencil.<\/p>\n

The gist of the project is that you cut slices off of 3 sides of the round log which gives you access to center. Then you cut out a piece for a drawer and glue it all back together again. Voila!<\/p>\n
