Plywood Tsunami Bandsaw Box

Project by James posted 155 days ago 427 views 2 times favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a Lois Ventura design, and using plywood was Allornothumb’s idea, but i had to try it out cause it looked cool.

Plywood is scraps, laminated into a block. Finish is Watco Medium Walnut Danish Oil, 2 coats wipe on poly, and 1 coat of paste wax. Inside is lined with some blue self-adhering felt.

Working with plywood is usually not my thing, but the plys do look pretty cool when they are sanded real good and polished up.

All comments welcome.

Looks good. You did a good job of hiding the kerf to get it started.

I once had a commercial job where all the ply wood edges were exposed and finished. No edge tape. It kinda drove me nuts at first and I thought it looked funny, But I got to say the finish project is quite nice.

Hey sometimes we work with whats near us. Never mind the 30 mins to the lumber yard. Ply wood is always the best to practice with. Thats normally the pile i start in….

That is really a neat idea! Clever and you get a bit of a suprise when you open it up.

Good job, James. Never thought about using plywood for a box, but you carried it off real good.

Looks pretty good there my fellow Hoosier! I have been thinking about facing the edge of the plywood towards the front so the waves on the top would expose the plywood levels. If you try that, post it. I’m A little short on time right now.
