Different Band Sawn Boxes
Hi guys,
When I saw this thread, I thought about these band sawn boxes made by a member of the Woodworker's Club of Houston.
I'm going to try my hand at a pair of them as soon as it warms up a little more.

Slide 3 of the link illustrates the problem (exaggerated). Apparently he just lets the glue hide it. I'm not much of an expert with either bandsaw or scroll saw, but I think a bevelled cut could compensate for kerf and wood thickness. (Hmmm. Maybe not. Need to experiment. And/or search marquetry/intarsia - not sure which is which.) These are perpendicular cuts, though, as seen at edges of the wood.

My concern is that many people, including me, do not have the skill to make the required smooth bandsaw / scrollsaw cut, resulting in a very unsightly end product.

Regardless of process the end result is outstanding. No doubt the finished 'pieces' require 'high end' craftsmanship but I believe the end result looks well worth the committment to achieve!
Very nice work indeed n somthing to aspire to!
Thx for posting em ratter!

And don't force the cut. Let the blade take the work. Also, decide in advance which side of the kerf follows the line and stick with it. When you find yourself forcing the cut, replace the blade.
This type of pattern variation is called "counterchanging." Quite common in heraldry (coats of arms, flags, etc.).
