Alright Topomax you’ve gone and done it!! Your “facetious” comment has given me the drive and motivation to improve on this “style” of box. I realized you were just kidding of course but the challenge was still there. I could feel it. LOL. So here we go, embarking on a journey that may or may not be successfull. Will it be padauk or wenge banding? Will it have a diamond like the last one or will it have some other pattern? Nobody knows for sure, but one things for sure. The miters will match and Topomax will be proven BRILLIANT!!
Here’s the start. My thoughts were around me, picking at me. Making me somewhat frustrated. How to do this. How to do this indeed! Well one thing is for sure, looks can be deceiving and everything is easy! This being bamboo is helpfull too. I can glue up two pieces and the seem dissappears. So in order to do this little diddy I decided I would have to cut 4 sticks. Each stick would make up the entire corner. It will travel up the side, across the top to the miter, make a 90 degree turn, then travel back across and down the side of the adjoining side. This has gone fairly easy so far, but I still need to cut them and do the bevels to begin the cube. Tricky? We will see tomorrow. As always I welcome constructive criticism, positive or negative, as well as direction too if you see that I’m doing this wrong. LOL

This looks like another winner, nice work. I’ve never used or even actually seen bamboo panels/boards before, but it sure looks like beautiful material, and I hope that we might even get some here in 20 years or so (hope I’m still alive then). Doesn’t it wear down your tool edges pretty quick?
