Rebated Cypress OATH

Specs:

  • Timber: Cypress
  • Timber Thickness: 35mm
  • Design: Rebated OATH with Super – 280mm x 200mm. Galvanised screws fitted internally so they are not seen from the outside.
  • Internal Volume: 6.8 litres
  • Brood Supports: Cypress
  • Separator Plate: Clear Acrylic
  • Coating: Oil

Rebated joints – adds some extra strength to box construction. The extra strength isn’t really needed and a normal Butt Join would be ok, I just thought – why not. It does require a bit of extra work though.

I chose the sections of timbers for the colours and knots. The colours will look good with some oil applied.

Entry hole drilled…

Below – I’ve used oil to bring out the nice wood colours
