Reclaimed Redwood and Gift Maple

Nice job on the bandsaw box! Looks like a fun project! I like the way you rounded over the corners on the drawers, keep up the good work!

Is that you, Andy? Aren’t you suppose to put the trays inside? LOL :-}

Nice job Andy, I see you are branching out with your projects. I really like it.

Nice variation from the norm there Andy…....looking good!

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

That’s nice clean looking cuts. Good contrast in colors.

as with all your work, beautiful detail and finish

Andy, what fun you are having. You are on an innovative tear recently. In fact you have become entirely unpredictable of late…good for you. Have you considered doing what Randy has been doing…combining boxes and bandsaw work into a new kind of valet or something else? Randy is dangerous; he seems to have sparked a whole new trend in bandsaw boxes…an art that was dying on this site. I enjoyed seeing this.

I saw your blog on applying this finish. What did you find worked best to finish really dry Redwood like this? Keep boxing and keep posting.

you must be a good vet
you sure have your arm
way into this wood stuff

Hey Al, if you thought that was different/innovative, wait til I post the ‘no hardware’ lazy susan. As far as finishing old,dried out redwood sanding to 600 grit seemed to work well. (with shellac- I think something like poly would soak in less and be easier). I only have 3 brushed on coats of diluted shellac on this box and was satisfied with the result. David, I paid my dues building horse barns and built my oldest daughter’s house. No more! Thanks all for the kind comments all of you!

Very cool looking box Andy…The redwood and maple constrast nicely. Now I am waiting to see a natural edge bandsaw box in your future.

Great job Andy.
I thought you got stuck in a rut with that same style box you’ve been cranking out, and here you go and prove me wrong.
That’s a beauty.
