I made this cute band saw box a few weeks ago… donated it to a dental organization for a fund-raiser.
I had to reduce the pattern a little to fit within the limits of my benchtop bandsaw… the source for the pattern was a book by Tom Crabb. I glued up 3 pieces of 4/4 poplar as the stock. The last pic shows the brown flocking I added as drawer liners. It was finished with natural Watco Danish oil and coated with spray lacquer.

Cool project. Very inventive.

Since it was for Dentists. It probably needed a buck tooth.

I followed the instructions in the book, so I cut about 1/2” from the ends of wood clothes pins for the feet, but for added stability they were glued into shallow counter bores.I waxed the drawers for easy sliding but did not provide for pushing them out from the back…in retrospect, that would have been a good modification.

FYI, I valued this at $225 for the silent auction, and it went for $180 bucks.

The band saw box book by Tom Crabb has a bunch of “cute” box designs… I found the book at the public library. I have fun with projects that aren’t ordinary… between the pattern I begin with and my final result, there is more room for “artistic interpretation”. LOL
