Another winning box. Question ??——Do you do these freehand or do you use a jig of sorts?

Either way…you do a fine job.

-- Use it up, Wear it out --------------- Make it do, Or do without!

Thats awesome!

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

this is a wonderful box greg, those curves sure look deep, dont you ever get nervous that you will go through…i think i would…but the colors here are great…and the beat goes on….....grizz

Good wood combo, I always like it better when purpleheart is used sparingly . Very nice.

Greg: another Gem

Any hints on the sanding?

-- Bruce. a mind is like a book it is only useful when open.

That’s a nice combination and I’m glad you didn’t abandon your original style. But I actually like both styles equally. I agree that purpleheart seems best in moderation. It worked very well in this box.

Love it! Great design, it compliments the wood … or vise versa :)

-- IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME

Jaykaypur…I do not use a jig. I just draw the lines in pencil and go at it. When I am grinding into the wood I cannot take my eyes off of what I am doing for even a split second cause that is all it takes to grind out in the wrong spot.

Grizzman…I have gone through when grinding too deep. It was near the bottom where the dado is for the box bottom. That box isn’t more than ashes in my burn pile. Enough to bring sawdust to my eyes…

Whitedog…I agree with you..the purpleheart really needs to be used in moderation. It is not a wood with a nice grain and it is so darn hard..The only thing it has is its color…and that unfortunately fades over time..

abie…hints on sanding? well, i just spend alot, alot, alot of time sanding and then some. I spend at least 12 hours each day in my shop.

Andy…I didn’t abandon my original style…I just try to come up with new ideas to break the boredom of repetition and having everything looking the same.

12 hours of sanding? You must be doing another show soon? You are coming up with variations in color and form, and you are “just drawing them on the piece? LOL! When you get time are you going to post the new sanding booth, or did I miss it?
