This box was a total experiment. I wanted to see if I could use the bandsaw to cut a thin channel between two drawers. It worked. I probably should have used a less dense wood than bloodwood to experiment with. I then had to figure out what kind of pull or opening system to use. I decided on drilling a small 1/4” hole in the back of the body and mounting a dowel that could be pushed in, thus pushing the drawer open on the front.
Kind of novel and something I will keep in the back of my mind but not something I will do all the time.
It stands about 9” tall and is about 3” wide and 4” deep.

Interesting drawer opening system, I hope you don’t mind if I keep it in the back of my mind as well.

Nice work, the appearance of the long bandsaw cut can be lost when bandsawing along the grain, well done. Always good to see someone experimenting and pushing the boundaries.
