    Default Bandsaw Box 1 - Redgum

    Combine a redgum stump from under a friend's house, a brand new bandsaw, and a novice bandsaw user, and you get bandsaw box number 1!

    The redgum has a couple of cracks in it, but this was only intended as a pure practice piece, so I wasn't fussed about it. (and it adds character!)

    Finished to 1200 grade, polished with ubeat's ultrashine and finished with ubeaut's Traditional wax.

    good...i think i see it. so in other word, there's always an entry point. that's the part that's been confusing for me. i wonder in some of the design if they ever had an entry point.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    texasdyme: In the first photo, you can see the join on the bottom left, on the inside at the front. The cut follows the grain.
