hmm…. I get a feeling I saw these somewhere….. lol – Fantastic!

we really need to find someone to design a new wood specie that would involve purpleheart, and a non-fade-color

More Exquisite work Ellen!

I agree with PurpLev, I wish that color wouldn’t fade. It is beautiful.

And you look like you’ve really taken to your new router table!

Very nice work!

Eye-catching and well-executed boxes. Great job, Ellen!

Sweet. Good for you.
I especially like the box with the kerf’ed top. Nice addition.

Those boards that you are hiding look great too.

Ellen, you are really getting the hand of this. Those are gorgeous band saw boxes and the tea box is beautiful. And putting the cutters in there as well, shows that you have been busy lately.

Nice job. You certainly are an inspiration!

very nice Ellen, it seems that band sawn boxes and cutting boards are getting to be very popular items to make, I am going to have to try it myself when I get the oppurtunity , soon I hope.
great job!!!

-- Smitty!!!

Ellen, great job. I might try your design on my first bandsaw box. I love the square box, the lines and the tapered edges in the lid, mitered splines. At first glance I didn’t think they were tea pouches in the box. I thought wow a little box for by your night stand….. for special moments….. sorry mind in the gutter….....

Good looking projects! You’re having too much fun….

They all look great, Ellen! Are you hooked yet? Boxoholism doesn’t sneak up on you, it walks right up and hits you over the head!! :)

D. All of the above.

Fantastic looking boxes. Well done.

Really nice. You’ve encouraged me to try a band saw box, but uh, I don’t have a band saw.

Flocking is nice… when I flocked some boxes, I bartered for supplies… I’m hesitant to build up an inventory of stuff I may get never used up. Next experiment will be aniline dye.

After three hinged boxes… the Mrs wants me to do a loose lid with handle. I like your design and use of lamp parts. Well done. She could use a tea box. Any chance some woods could transfer the wood aroma to the tea? I have some canary wood (I think) that really has a strong fragrance. Not bad. Just not right for tea. I don’t know if sealer would prevent a problem or add to it?

And, Dusty56 encouraged me to do miter spline sliding table saw jig that worked well when I did splines.

Anyway, keep at it… you are doing great.

-- Al H. - small shop, small projects...

Ellen very nice boxes! You did some very nice finishing also. I like the mix of purple heart in the big box…the other part looks like one of the mahogony species…just a guess…

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

Shazam !!
Ellen these are truly beautiful. LOVE the purpleheart top box.
Can’t wait to try a band saw box.
Keep them coming :)

Ellen, looks like you’ve been busy. I like them all. I really like the combination of woods you did on the larger minnow and I would love to see more pics of the cutting boards. They look great.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

Beautiful boxes I like all of them .

Thanks to you all.
YOU are my inspiration!
The work of my fellow LJs is something I aspire to!
I have about a million ideas in my head…now I just have to get some time to create.
