wedding box build - tutorial

i recently built a box for rivergirl
to be given as a wedding present
Wood Rectangle Natural material Tree Plant


http://lumberjocks.com/projects/67292

as i had recently done a tutorial
about some design and cutting techniques

http://lumberjocks.com/patron/blog/29227

that was fresh in my head
and i used it for this box

to make things easier
rather than cut each part separate
i started with some 5/4 black walnut
and maple stock and double taped them together on edge
Brown Property Rectangle Wood Road surface


Brown Wood Rectangle Floor Flooring


and them cross cut them into blocks
(no real size just looked right and all the same)
Brown Rectangle Wood Flooring Road surface

and using a handy can marked an arc from one corner
to the opposite side shy of the edge
(they will all need to be squared and paralleled later
so somewhat bigger than finished is good)
Gas Circle Cylinder Wood Foam


and took then to the bandsaw and cut quick
so the line doesn't wobble
Wood Floor Road surface Flooring Gas


here it is important to keep all the parts with their respective mates
as no other freehand cut part will match another but it's mate

and glue the alternate colors back together
Wood Art Font Triangle Hardwood


now all the blocks need to be squared and sized to one standard
the 'top' i cut by eye against a backer on the miter gauge
so the arc end is in the same place on all
Wood Table Flooring Floor Wood stain


now i glue them all in the sequence i want
(the sides have straight wood cauls and clamps
and one clamp down the length)
Wood Floor Rectangle Flooring Tints and shades


after the glue is cleaned up
i re-saw the whole thing
and glue them together endwise again
with any accent colors i like on the sides
and the same clamping sequence as before

a note here
when you 'butterfly' this the ends are out of sequence
Brown Rectangle Wood Flooring Floor


so one must be flipped over to come back to pattern
(this is where my machine sander died
and all the trouble started as i usually use it thru all the stages to 'clean up'
the stages) now i had to do this by saw or with a DA sander
which is not a true flat surface to work with)
here is the one 'flipped over' ready for glue and accent strips
Wood Floor Flooring Hardwood Gas


now we have a piece that is roughly 3' long
and maybe 2 1/2" wide by 3/4 " thick
and re-sawing again to about 1/8"
you will get maybe 4 pieces ready to work with
(because my bandsaw was not up to par for re-sawing
i only got 3 but only used 2 so far
something for some other project someday)

now the box itself is just regular parts
that have a dado for this inlay to glue into
and cut to fit as needed
i glued the inlay in first
so as not to have to many tedious cuts to make
(this is a scrap left over to show the dado)
Rectangle Wood Beige Flooring Concrete


i just rabbeted the ends and sides
as i was having so much trouble with uneven pieces
from bad sanding to even things up

but this could be done in martyns E-Z miter style
if things are flat and true

basically this is just how they make those bandings
for edges and guitars just in a larger scale

any questions please ask

i hope this will help
enjoy

Thanks for the tutorial, David. I would like to try this someday so I'm going to make this a favorite so I can refer to it later. Your box is beautiful.

It is why I love being a LJ, the wonderful knowledge you and other LJ's have that makes us say, wow, I never thought of doing that, or thats how they did it. Thanks David for brightening my day with this tutorial.

http://lumberjocks.com/patron/blog/29227

that was fresh in my head
and i used it for this box

to make things easier
rather than cut each part separate
i started with some 5/4 black walnut
and maple stock and double taped them together on edge
Brown Property Rectangle Wood Road surface


Brown Wood Rectangle Floor Flooring


and them cross cut them into blocks
(no real size just looked right and all the same)
Brown Rectangle Wood Flooring Road surface

and using a handy can marked an arc from one corner
to the opposite side shy of the edge
(they will all need to be squared and paralleled later
so somewhat bigger than finished is good)
Gas Circle Cylinder Wood Foam


and took then to the bandsaw and cut quick
so the line doesn't wobble
Wood Floor Road surface Flooring Gas


here it is important to keep all the parts with their respective mates
as no other freehand cut part will match another but it's mate

and glue the alternate colors back together
Wood Art Font Triangle Hardwood


now all the blocks need to be squared and sized to one standard
the 'top' i cut by eye against a backer on the miter gauge
so the arc end is in the same place on all
Wood Table Flooring Floor Wood stain


now i glue them all in the sequence i want
(the sides have straight wood cauls and clamps
and one clamp down the length)
Wood Floor Rectangle Flooring Tints and shades


after the glue is cleaned up
i re-saw the whole thing
and glue them together endwise again
with any accent colors i like on the sides
and the same clamping sequence as before

a note here
when you 'butterfly' this the ends are out of sequence
Brown Rectangle Wood Flooring Floor


so one must be flipped over to come back to pattern
(this is where my machine sander died
and all the trouble started as i usually use it thru all the stages to 'clean up'
the stages) now i had to do this by saw or with a DA sander
which is not a true flat surface to work with)
here is the one 'flipped over' ready for glue and accent strips
Wood Floor Flooring Hardwood Gas


now we have a piece that is roughly 3' long
and maybe 2 1/2" wide by 3/4 " thick
and re-sawing again to about 1/8"
you will get maybe 4 pieces ready to work with
(because my bandsaw was not up to par for re-sawing
i only got 3 but only used 2 so far
something for some other project someday)

now the box itself is just regular parts
that have a dado for this inlay to glue into
and cut to fit as needed
i glued the inlay in first
so as not to have to many tedious cuts to make
(this is a scrap left over to show the dado)
Rectangle Wood Beige Flooring Concrete


i just rabbeted the ends and sides
as i was having so much trouble with uneven pieces
from bad sanding to even things up

but this could be done in martyns E-Z miter style
if things are flat and true

basically this is just how they make those bandings
for edges and guitars just in a larger scale

any questions please ask

i hope this will help
enjoy
thanks David its ones like you that keep this craft alive

David - that's really clever! The box looks awesome and I think I will try my hand at this technique with my next build

Thanks for the tutorial

Thanks for helping us all out. I know I have a few idea's on how to use your technique. It was great thinking to make the inlay strip the way you did. Now I have even more idea's than normal running around my head.

Thanks David.

Nice work, David…

It's very interesting about Freehand Cutting (No fancy jigs, etc.) can be used to generate such results!

... and multiplying by resawing thin strips save a lot of work too!

Great stuff!

Thank you.

You know you're really good when you can make it look easy. Though I know of course that it isn't, and I could never do it. But that's why I have good friends who CAN. Thanks again David! You're the best!

Thanks for the tutorial. You made it look a lot easier than it seemed looking at the finished project. I may have to try it but it won't turn out like yours, I'm sure. You are a master of this style.

to make things easier
rather than cut each part separate
i started with some 5/4 black walnut
and maple stock and double taped them together on edge
Brown Property Rectangle Wood Road surface


Brown Wood Rectangle Floor Flooring


and them cross cut them into blocks
(no real size just looked right and all the same)
Brown Rectangle Wood Flooring Road surface

and using a handy can marked an arc from one corner
to the opposite side shy of the edge
(they will all need to be squared and paralleled later
so somewhat bigger than finished is good)
Gas Circle Cylinder Wood Foam


and took then to the bandsaw and cut quick
so the line doesn't wobble
Wood Floor Road surface Flooring Gas


here it is important to keep all the parts with their respective mates
as no other freehand cut part will match another but it's mate

and glue the alternate colors back together
Wood Art Font Triangle Hardwood


now all the blocks need to be squared and sized to one standard
the 'top' i cut by eye against a backer on the miter gauge
so the arc end is in the same place on all
Wood Table Flooring Floor Wood stain


now i glue them all in the sequence i want
(the sides have straight wood cauls and clamps
and one clamp down the length)
Wood Floor Rectangle Flooring Tints and shades


after the glue is cleaned up
i re-saw the whole thing
and glue them together endwise again
with any accent colors i like on the sides
and the same clamping sequence as before

a note here
when you 'butterfly' this the ends are out of sequence
Brown Rectangle Wood Flooring Floor


so one must be flipped over to come back to pattern
(this is where my machine sander died
and all the trouble started as i usually use it thru all the stages to 'clean up'
the stages) now i had to do this by saw or with a DA sander
which is not a true flat surface to work with)
here is the one 'flipped over' ready for glue and accent strips
Wood Floor Flooring Hardwood Gas


now we have a piece that is roughly 3' long
and maybe 2 1/2" wide by 3/4 " thick
and re-sawing again to about 1/8"
you will get maybe 4 pieces ready to work with
(because my bandsaw was not up to par for re-sawing
i only got 3 but only used 2 so far
something for some other project someday)

now the box itself is just regular parts
that have a dado for this inlay to glue into
and cut to fit as needed
i glued the inlay in first
so as not to have to many tedious cuts to make
(this is a scrap left over to show the dado)
Rectangle Wood Beige Flooring Concrete


i just rabbeted the ends and sides
as i was having so much trouble with uneven pieces
from bad sanding to even things up

but this could be done in martyns E-Z miter style
if things are flat and true

basically this is just how they make those bandings
for edges and guitars just in a larger scale

any questions please ask

i hope this will help
enjoy
Like everyone I really appreciate that you take the time to show your technique and what creative beauty it is too. Another fav!

Very clever, it would have taken me a month of Sundays to work out how it was done.

Great work, I enjoyed the tutorial.

Great blog and great work David. Even I could do this with such good instructions. I would run out to the shop and do this immediately except that my shop door is about 1700 kilometers away right now, lol.

Thanks David for a super tutorial. Like others have said, you make it look easy-easy enough I think I'll give it a try too. Its amazing for a novice like me to so easily get such a lesson from you and other masters of the craft here on LJs.

Great tutorial David! I looked at the photos of this lovely wedding gift in the first posting and wondered how on earth you did that … now I know much more than before! Many thanks for sharing the process … and I know your friend will cherish this very special gift!
