Project Information

Thanks to all the great tips I found here, I made my first bandsaw boxes… (well, actually, I started a pine one to get a feel for it but then moved on to these). I definitely need more practice, but pretty excited at how these little guys turned out. Gifts for my family… M was for my niece Margot, and N for my nephew Nicholas. Red oak (actually, I think it was something else and I don't remember! any ideas?), pine, and purpleheart. Not sure how they'll hold up mixing the soft and hard woods, but time will tell. Finished with boiled linseed oil. Probably going to make a bunch of these considering I live in a city and space is very limited. And no more hand-sanding stuff like this! Just bought a spindle sander.

Thanks to all for all of the info here!

Good start Tom, pretty little boxes and welcome to LJ. No worry about the pine combined with hardwoods, it should do just fine.

Very nice boxes.

I understand the "urban" crowded feeling too well!

From the pictures, I'd guess maybe sapelle on the mystery wood.

I've been wanting to try a bandsaw box and would be pretty darn happy if mine turn out as nice as yours. Good stuff!
