Bandsaw boxes

Project by CJay posted 116 days ago 467 views 1 time favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Bandsaw boxes, All designs by Lois Ventura. My favourite is Firewater (picture 2) in walnut. All boxes are finished with Danish oil (3 to 4 coats) and the 2 or 3 coats of wax.

I agree with Mike. These are gorgeous. I thought I recognized the style. I have just finished her book, Building Beautiful Boxes, and will try some of the patterns (if I can clear out some of the projects my wife has “commissioned”).

Awesome! Coincidentally I just finished reading her book last night (my bandsaw will be here on Monday!) There are some great boxes in there and yours certainly turned out well.

I tooenjoy Lois Venturas designs,
Just a little tip.. stick a piece of felt under the drawers to even out the gaps around the drawers and to make them easier to open and closed. Also a piece at the back of the drawer to soften the close.,Otherwise very nice boxes.
