    This is my 3rd go at these band saw boxes this one is from some Dilenia that I picked up at Mapelton wood show earlier in the year and is supposed to be a stylized tree it is 200mm high 170mm wide and 90mm deep. I am still contemplating handles I have started a textured plant on tree face out of black heart sassafras to see if I can make it work for the handles,I am not keen to use knob type handle on this one. I am hoping to make the 2 round draws into ring holders and the centre draw is for fine chains.
    Regards Rod.

    Here is what I am thinking for handles I didn't want to put knobs on so what do you think about the mock up for a way to go. I know the gaps are all over the place they are stuck on with double sided tape to get a rough idea of the look any ideas welcome.

    Yes, looks good to me. The contrast and the additional detail lift the box.

    Looks great Rod. The detail really adds to the design.

    Thanks for the replies I will get on to the actual front as I think I can do something like the mock-up and it should work quite well for handles maybe a bit deeper to get a bit more of an undercut for the pull,I will post when it is done.
