Lyptus Bandsawn Box

Hi Bob;
—-yes, make those ‘funky’ things….this ‘funky wood art’ thing has character, drive and spirit!

Character= that’s those organic shapes….
Drive= to urge you on for more….
Spirit= that’s the wood talking….

Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank

I thought you had started singing, there, Frank!!

I like the shape of this one. Some day I’ll have to try my hand at these types of boxes.

Nice work, there are two signs that you are starting to think outside the square “you enjoyed the making” and (2) you’ve begun creating organic shaped boxes. Well done.

When will we see you next bandsawn box?

PS you are not intimidated by the size of the block you’ve got to work with, that is another positive sign.

Great looking box, I’m gonna try my hand at it again too, I made a hugh one quite a while ago its in my projects if you want to check it out. Made it out of a 94lb chunk of maple burl. jockmike

Hey Bob, looks like that new 0555 is doing you justice!!!

Great looking box. As Tony said, “Thinking outside the square”

Kinda like a miniature piano box. Nice job with the Lyptus, Bob.

Thanks for the kind comments all…. I have lots of scrap pieces that are too small to do much with…I’m going to be making a bunch of boxes for Christmas presents this year…:)

Nice job Bob. I agree with PJ, it reminds me a of miniature baby grand piano. I was almost expecting to see strings inside when you opened it.

Bob, very nice. Did I ever tell you that I just love small wooden boxes?

-- CanuckDon "I just love small wooden boxes!" http://www.canterburybaptist.org/

lol Don you are too funny.
Are you by chance making any small boxes at the moment?? Or just gathering inspiration?? !! lol

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Debbie, that’s what this sit is all about. The three most important factors in woodworking are inspiration, inspiration, inspiration!

I know this sounds a little strange coming from a Canuck expatriot, but it’s a little cool in my shop right now, so I’m not making anything. If you don’t think it gets cold in Oz., look at my Ossie Mate, Bob’s comments here.

sounds like you have lots of time to BLOG then, Don… we can get inside your little creative mind and see what you’re busy conger-ing up.. or perhaps some pieces from the past.. giving us some more tips and INSPIRATION
