Band Saw Box Attempt

Very attractive shape. Glad you had fun with this one… like you said, they are fairly simple and quick. But also open to lots of design possibilities.

it’s beautiful.
so many little treasures can fit in the drawer.
The finish, in my opinion, is beautiful – very soft and natural looking.

Great job Toyguy. I must get around to trying one as well.

This one came out quite nice! When they follow nice curves like that, they are very appealing. Nice!

Very nice!

I’ve gotta do some research. I see these bandsaw boxes posted here all the time, and I just don’t quite “get” how it is done.

Turned out great, specially for a first try.

Very nice especially for the first time. This competition is shaping up to be a good one!

Well done, I look forward to see your next bandsawn box! One ready for this Winter’s competition?

Brian I think that your first band saw box may have inspired a few of us to give it a try.

Really nice design, and it looks great. I really like how the drawer sides curl inward the slightest bit. Oops, gotta go… I hear my band saw calling me…

Nice box.

Nice shape, nice box!

My Mate, Tony Ward will like this one.

I’ve never successfully made a bandsaw box. I know this because when I tried, my wife told me to stick to my small wooden boxes (which I love by the way) – not mine that is, but any small wooden box – this one included.

very nice work toyguy ! good luck with it

Gotta love those cedar 4×4s! My first bandsaw box was from an extra one I had left over from building a fence! You did a very nice job of following the wod’s flow and creating a box that will be treasured.

That is a great box! I like everything about it – It’s going on the favorite list!!

I’m going to favorite this one as well.

Very nice and especially good for a first attempt. I can only do small ones with my benchtop BS. Maybe someday I’ll upgrade to a full size one.

Some anonymous person kindly left me a small cedar log outside my shop door.
This has given me an idea of what to do with it.

Thanks.
