I used the book Bandsaw boxes and shrunk one down to cut from a 2 X 6 X 6 turning square. This piece is cut from Canarywood using a #9 skip-tooth blade. I cut the back off with a bandsaw, taped it back to the block and proceeded to cut the outside shape. The stack was separated and then the drawers were cut out. After that, it was back to the bandsaw to cut the fronts and backs off of the drawers. Then the drawer insides were cut on the scrollsaw. The whole thing was then glued back together. While not a very difficult project, I was very happy with the end result.

This is nice , you make it sound so easy i also like the way the handles flow with the drawers. I will try one someday with so many other projects to complete and life always gets in the way of wood working

Hi Kevin,
This is a gorgeous box. It is well designed and you did a wonderful job on the both the construction and the finish.
I have been meaning to do something like this but simply haven’t found the time.
Thanks for sharing.

I’m with Ron – you make it SOUND so easy.
I started a scroll saw box once and it is still sitting on a shelf somewhere… but the bandsaw would be helpful for the thick wood…
Nice box

Only 2 blades? That’s better than I do one something a lot simpler.
Very nice job.

beautiful fit, nice and tight and a good mix of tooling. I’m a big scroll saw fan as well.
