My first Bandsawn Box #1

Saw this on the other post. Looks even better here due to larger photos.

-- Maplewood, MN

Great project. I’ve got one of those on my list of things to make.

Sweet.
I have never seen one done it quite this way. I like it.
That is really cool how the handle cutoffs form the lid alignment thingy.
And of course, what a wonderful hunk-o-wood.

That is a really unique box. You certainly have enlightened me with respect to burls. I will never look at them with disinterest again. It is amazing what is actually hidden inside these pieces of wood.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I have a bit of burl that looks just like that one you started with. Thanks for the idea. Great project by the way.

Karson, That is really cool. My kind of bansawn box. The basket is neat. It’s an unexpected surprise when you open it. Great idea.

-- Dust collectors suck.

Beautiful grain and very interesting design.

Nice Karson! Simple and undisturbed.

Hey Karson;

Great work, and when you tire of it you can glue it back together and have a block of wood!

Very cool, a reversable project! What a concept.LOL

Lee Who says that you are not very observant. My wife hasn’t seen it yet. She was looking at a small box on the table and she asked is it smaller than this.

I said yes.

She replied,”What can I put in it?”

I didn’t reply.

Nice work, Mate!

I’ve tried bandsaw boxes on at least four different occasions – after that decided to stick to small wooden boxes, which Karson, I love!

A Beautiful Bandsaw Burl Basket Box. Nice work indeed.

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

Very nice Karson,

You were thinking way inside the box on this one.

You did a great job of embellishing a beautiful creation of nature, into a beautiful creation of your own.

Good Luck!!!

Thanks Dick, Rob and Don.

the design is amazing. You did the wood justice, that’s for sure

Great use of that burr / burl Karson! I do like the lift-out basket.
