    Welcome to the best bandsawn box making forum on the Internet. Here there are a number of members who are willing to help you along the way.

    My preference is to work in Australian Red Cedar, as it does not blunt the bandsaw blade and tools. I know there are many other fine Australian timbers available, the choice is yours.

    We are here to help,

    I have worked with both red and white cedar and must agree with Tony's comments. Silky Oak is another wood that I find good to work with.
