I tried my hand at making a quick bandsawn box. I was surprised how easy this was. It still needs ome sanding and finishing…even some glue removal…but I’ve only spent about an hour on it. I really like using the bandsaw….very versatile….I really like the organic shapes possible….I think you’ll be seeing some funky things coming out of my shop.

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.

Bob

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.

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.

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.
