WOODWORKS: InteRmeDIate pROject 2009-2010

WIffle Ball

Here’s a project that looks like a complicated puzzle, but it’s really all about basic precision. It’s made from just six identical little hardwood 
squares, all of them drilled and edge-mitered to fit together perfectly and then cut at the corners to make the final shape. Can you figure it out? 
We’ll help you. Making this piece will give intermediate woodworkers the opportunity to hone their skills at cutting perfect squares and miters  
as well as boring large holes. And when it’s all assembled, you’ll learn more about applying and using stains and finishes to protect the wood  
and keep it looking beautiful.
