Bandsawn Box #1 #2: My First Bandsawn Box

Wow, that’s a nice step-by-step. What great looking wood, too.

Great blog! I’ve learned something.

Very nice box, very nice wood.

Very Cool! What wood?? And what size??? The wood grain is awesome…and the little basket is a neat effect. Make a great little girls treasure box. Great work.

Well, found my way back to your original post. Big Leaf Maple, and about 4”?? Great looking wood for a project like this. I did a bandsaw box at last year’s woodwokring show (very simple one)and been watching others here. If I ever get done with the project I’m on now I need to try another. Love this design though. Again, great job.

This is a nice step by step post. I admire your imagination. Even with this post I do not think that I could envision a box inside the piece of wood.

Well done Karson. I must try one of these one day.

Ok Karson…now I have to try one of these soon. Looks very cool. Basket in a box…I would have never come up with something that clever.

Thanks. I tried to make the step X step as easy as I could. I just screwed up and made a bunch of cut and a glue before I got the camera again.

I was able to put some of the pieces back in the correct place so you could see the cuts that were necessary.

Just remember if you need a bottom or a back cut it off before you destroy the piece.

You need to think what cuts you will make and the pieces that you will get after making the cut.

Nice wood, I have not attempted one of these and would not know where to began. Nicely done, now I know where to come when I get the nerve to make one.

thanks for the lesson, but how did you cut out the inside of the basket?
