Project Information I made this box as a Christmas present for my grandma. I use one solid chunk of red oak to make it so I didn't have to laminate pieces together. The knobs are made of cherry.

Report ChuckC · Registered Joined May 13, 2010 · 596 Posts Jan 4, 2012 Great job Kyle! The instructions mention a scroll saw. Is that mandatory or can you do it all on the bandsaw? I guess if you are careful you could split it in half from where the "crack" ends to the bottom.
