Band Saw Boxes Growing On Trees

Glad you added the DVD for scale (great movie by the way). Those are big! First thing I thought of when I saw them were trees with eyes on them. Great work!

I also thought Eye’s when I first looked as them. And I also thought Orson Welles War of The Worlds.
I like the look! Good idea using the movie box!

I hope you don’t have that in the bedroom at night! FBDO one of my faves. Dankashein.

Nice looking boxes, I’ve been pondering myself of doing a box that resembles a tree such as the tree of life, so Roger did you have any problems with the resin from the pine sticking to your blade? My dad mid last year gave me reclaimed pine boards from his utility trailer that I ran through my saw to make a box from in which left a very difficult pain in the rear to get off buildup of resin on my blade from the pine, thus I’m a bit weary to use it again.

I like the frog eyes, I like the woods you chose, I like the shapes of the boxes, and the finish looks to be terrific. Can’t say I’m overly ecstatic about the tree support though. I feel it overwhelms the pleasing shapes of the boxes themselves. Maybe if the ‘tree’ shapes were smaller- like half as tall. Just my opinion- you know you are never gonna get away from that when it comes to band saw boxes- LOL.

Art,

The “eyes” have it! That’s the first thing I thought of too, with the way the drawer pulls are on there. I’m also with Tony in thinking that these are in their beginning stages of evolution.

Whether or not these boxes evolve, I think they show your growth as a creative woodworker. Great work!

Was it another bandsaw box that inspired you, or something that was simply a tree, such as a jewelry holder or something else?

I hope you do more of these!
