My first attempt at a scroll saw or band saw box…used both tools. super simple construction since I have no joinery skills yet. The lid keeper is hidden in the photos. Woods used are black walnut and curly maple…finished with gel wipe-on poly then wax. approx size is 5×7x3”. Learned a lot…next one is already started, of course!

...any comments welcomed…

That’s a beautiful little box, Terry. Very well done. I’m a bit of a box-a-holic myself. I’ve done a couple of scroll saw boxes also. Keep up the good work.

Terry you fooled me. The band saw boxes I make have lid and base same wood. Cut outside shape, cut bottom and top off of shape. Cut slug out of middle. Cut Lid keep off slug. Glue bottom on. Glue lid keeper on top which is guaranteed to fit. And then sand and finish. Never tried toy two wood way. More work.

See a couple of boxes in my projects. Thought everyone did it my way! Learning all the time.

Phil, I probably should have titiled this little guy a scroll saw box…that’s how I cut out the maple shape. Got one in progress that sounds like your others…from same block of wood. The main reason I made this one as is…

...maple was only 8/4 thick and I wanted a taller box…

...and I don’t see how it’s more work…fewer cuts my way, dude! <g> well, AFTER re-sawing and planing the top and base to size…
