Trash Can

Trash can made using maple. I got a jointer and planer so this was my first project using rough cut lumber which I milled down to the required dimensions. The only metal on the whole trash can is the door pull and hinges, otherwise all mortise and tenon joinery. The drawer used for trash bag storage was hand dovetailed. The field of each side is made of 2"x1/4" slats floating in a groove on the rails and stiles. The trashcan sits inside to the left and above the drawer is room for a smaller trashcan which we use for recycling.
