I tried to open a box on my band saw yesterday… I still haven’t gotten all the cereal out of the motor.

I love the suggestive shape of this box, the varying wall thicknesses and your sanded curves. That inside area (between the boxes) looks like it was tough to do. The Iroko has a lovely warm colour – only wax as a finish?

the shape i came up with using shape tools on a desktop publishing package , i tend to start off with say a standard recctangle or rhomboid then just add curves and pull it about until i find a shape that pleases me then add the drawers in freehand. As for the sanding in between the two boxes just dogged determination with a thin offcut of timber wrapped in sandpaper and yes just bees wax to finish although i find the shine does not tend to last that long, i really must spend some time experimenting with some new finishes. Thank you all for looking.
