Gorgeous piece. I now have a small idea how these boxes are made. What size of blade do you use? Assuming this is made with a solid wood glue-up, do you cut the inside of the drawers with the bandsaw as well? Tks for sharing.

Thank you tyka!
I used a 3/16" blade timber wolf
It is made from laminated pieces of solid wood!
first i cut the outside of the box and do a basic shape the i want to the front and sides.
Then depending if the back is glued on or taped, i remove it.
The drawers are cut out then the fronts and backs of the drawers are cut then the inside
of the drawers are cut out and glued back together to form a drawer.
The back is then glued on the box.
I then shape the front and sides of the box and drawers.
then sand and sand and sand and sand some more and sand some more…
whaa laaa a dirty dusty box that is ready for the finish shop.
