This is my first-ever bandsaw box. I used Black Walnut and Soft Maple for the laminated body. I included the lighter sapwood from the Black Walnut, which I think gives it a bit of a heavier feel at the base and lighter at the top. I use Red Oak for the handle, which I cut out on the bandsaw and shaped using an oscillating edge/spindle sander. The drawer is lined with adhesive-backed black felt. The finish is boiled linseed oil followed by about 5 coats of shellac. Overall, I am quite pleased with how the box turned out. I made it for my wife for her birthday and she loves it!

Nice! Where was your entry line? How did you make that sharp corner at the top right?

Elizabeth, using a 3/8” blade, I entered in the bottom right hand corner. I think if you follow the grain direction at the entry it will be more easily hidden once glued. Then I worked my way across the bottom and clockwise. When I reached the sharp corner, I turned off the saw and let the blade come to a stop. Then I backed the blade out all the way, brought the box in from the back of the blade, and cut counterclockwise up to the corner. I used a small file to clean up the inside corner where the 2 kerfs came together. I hope this helps!
