Nice work.

Making Bandsawn boxes proves there is really nothing that can be called scrap, anymore!

Looking forward to see what you will do with the No. 9 Sassafras!

Beautiful boxes, PTC. The finish on the huon is superb, and the roughness of the burl voids is a nice contrast.

Is that an entry cut I can see on the huon? Are these supposed to be invisisle? Just asking, 'cos I don't know: it's not a comment or criticism.

The entry cut, some Glue it others leave it. Cum See - Cum Sa.
Glueing it up puts a strain 0n the body of box,as the huon was only partly dry i decided to leave it open.

Pete.
yes.
got the book from local library, its now on its way to next borrower.
i thought it was good, but my boxes will be all one piece.
Do not have planer.

I ordered it from Amazon before christmas
Us $15.63c on Special. Postage us$11.98c Should be here this week !
No 9 will be called "Minnow."I have 5 Burls to cut up next( were for bowls but should make nice boxes.)

Now I get it!!!;) Wasn't game to ask for fear of looking like proper idiot! Love the boxes - this style gives enormous style/shape possibilities. Will have to find out more about it - like how you hollow the drawers ????????:o
