No, I did not receive plans. I wonder what the problem is?

you can turn it rough and put it in a dehydrator for a while. it will shrink and crack.
turn your finished product then and soak it in mineral oil for a couple of days. you're ready

You can turn green, it may crack on you though.

Neighbor and I are going to each make the "dovetailed tool tote" as shown in current issue "Shop Notes," as Christmas presents. Can get good white pine locally but I said let's see if we can get some old-growth heart pine. Seek 1x10, 3 pcs 64", or 2 @ 64 + 2 @ 32, then 1x6, 4 pcs 48". Will pay for material plus shipping.
