the contrast in the timber looks great, beautiful cabinet

Very interested in seeing the final product on this. I too am a comic junkie, and have boxes upon boxes of them. And good find on the Walnut, best price I have been able to get here in Texas is 3.95...

Looks great!!!!

Again, thanks for the kind words. Coming from everyone here it makes me feel good about my choices, since everyone here is so good at what they do.

Clare, I did not know that woven wicker was...

Thanks for all the kind words ya’ll.

Small Space, the latch is something that concerns me a little. Hopefully, by the time she starts to try and move it around, it will be time to change the...

All I have posted on here is band saw boxes, so I thought I would see what ya’ll think of my 1st large project.

I started this crib about 6 months ago, and finished it about 1 week after my 1st...

They look great. I like them both, but would have to say my favorite it the 1st one because of the unusual shape. Like everyone else, cannot wait to see more.

First I would like to say welcome. Great looking 1st box. Bandsawn boxes are a wonderful way to express oneself, and the sky is the limit on whatever shapes your brain can imagine. Also you will...

Very intersting horizontal laminations on the first two, and the last ones wood pattern looks wonderful. Great job.

Wonderful work, Don. The character on the olive one is something else. Cannot wait to get back at doing these boxes, it has been to long.

Wow!!!:2tsup: That is one beautiful piece.

wonderful looking boxes, like the designs.
Been working on one off and on now (will post once it is finished), cause other projects needing to be done. Building my 1st grandchilds baby bed, and...

looking good!!!:2tsup:

Great work!!!!

Beautiful design, very original. Out of all the ones I have seen of yours this is my favorite

Stunning box. Love the carving. Good luck on the move, hope to see ya back online soon

what a wonderful idea

Looks greate. Love the Spalted.

Rich

this is one wonderful looking box, I also cannot wait for the WIP

as gabacus said, "your work is the reason i tried these boxes in the first place", it is the same for me, I cannot wait to see what comes out next

I like it

Nice job, looks good

Looks really good.

What makes it great to me is it is unusual and unique. Love it.

Tony, thanks for the information. With the next box, I am going to try as you have suggested.

Don Mc, thanks I am going to try that, and I am using a 1/8" 15 tpi on a 9" bandsaw.

Beautiful, very organic

they are glued on

PTC, maybe one of these days I will do a fair or two (but dream of a shop), but having a wife, 3 daughters, 3 sisters, a step mother, 2 sister in laws, and 11 nieces just in Texas, they have all...

Thanks Tony, I am never offended by the master. I do have a quesiton about that though, if you go in with the grain on the front, will the cut not show up on the side of the box, but if it doesn't...

Here is my 5th box. I really love doing these. I now understand why ya'll use cedar. It is very easy to work and the color and patterns is amazing. I used eastern red cedar. I put 5 coats of dainsh...

Don, those are wonderful. Great creativity. Which one did the client select?

Thanks ya'll for the kind words.

David, there are 4 pieces glued together, 3 in the main body and 1 thinner for the back.

Here is the 4th one. It is made of Bodarc (Osage Orange) with handles of Walnut. This is one of the hardest and most dense woods I have ever worked with. It broke one of my bandsaw blades and sanding...

Here it is the last pic, after I added the wipe on poly to match the others. The wife wanted it to match the others (pencil/pen box and business card holder).

Very cool looking box

These are wonderful, good luck in the exhibition.

great design, cannot wait to see more from Julie

I like it, very unusual.

Don MC,

Wow, it looks amazing.

Chickpea26, I cut full stock to stips to match in width, so glue up was pretty easy, and it seems to be holding really well, I just used regular yellow wood glue.

Here are the next steps in the...

since I have little funds available I use a Ryobi 9" (only cost $99.00), which is fitted with a 1/8" blade with 14 - 15 TPI

The finish is 2 coats of tung oil, and 2 coats of wipe on poly. I think the reason it looks so shiny is cause of the camera

Thanks, I appreciate the nice words. One of these days I will find a place I can pic up some Danish Oil.

How can anyone not like doing these. The answer they cannot. What else can you take a cutout from another project and make something totally different, but then it fits right in.

The 1st pic is...

If you are worried about it being same on both sides you could cut out a templete from a piece of cardboard, trace it on one side then flip it over and trace on the other. However; what I like about...

Looks great!!! I would love to get my hands on this type of wood.

Thanks for all the kind words. I use an 1/8" blade for this one.

Oops forgot to tell ya, the handles and the back are Poplar, then Walnut and the middle is Cypress. It has 2 coats of tung oil, and 2 coats of wipe on poly with a sanding inbetween with 0000 steel...

I finally got the camera back from my daughters (I have 3 of them) and was able to get pictures of my 2nd box. Hope ya'll enjoy, and please let me know what you think. I saw this out on a website and...

Very inspiring. WOW!!!
