Bombe Box

Very nice box Kerry. I like the curved sides, adn the contrasting colors of the two types of wood.

A great box. Nice design

That is a gorgeous box. I love the shape.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Beautiful. The shape really makes it special.

So tell us how you shaped the sides. It’s a good looking box and I, for one, would like to know how you did it.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Kerry,

This is a gorgeous box. You executed a nice design in building this one.

Nice job.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Very well done.

Great looking box – good design, great finish.

Very cool looking box.
I know what a pain it is to get all the sides coming out exactly where you want them to.

Intersting design and great choice of wood.

as has been said above. I like it. When something makes you take a second look you know you did something really right, or really wrong…LOL. You did good.

Thanks guys.

Lee – I joined the sides together 1st, then tilted my tablesaw blade a few degrees, set the fence and ran the long sides through, turned it upside down and ran them through again. I then removed the fence and used my mitre guage to cut the short sides. Afterwards I clamped it in my bench vice and finished shaping the sides with a #4 1/2 (the only plane I had at the time :-).

For those who mentioned the choice of wood – I REALLY like the look of walnut with red oak. To me they just look like they were meant for each other.

Thanks for the nice comments.
