wooden box

Cool! I like the way it looks with the irregular shaped sides.

This is really great! I love how you shaped the sides. It is definitely more interesting now. You and I just posted boxes with a similar shape in the design… hummmm, freaky.

Very nice box. I find that some of my best designs come from trying to cover up a “mistake.” I have come to the conclusion that the wood is just trying to bring it’s character forth. I think it is a great design. Thank you for sharing.

Great things often come about when our original plans go awry. Great little box!

I really like the shape. The contrast of different wood colors is nice too. Thanks for sharing.

Kevin,

This is a very nice box. It is well designed and I like the way you formed the sides.

Well done.

Kevin,

I like this box a lot. Much better looking than my 2nd box. Can you share some details on how you shaped the sides?

-- John

Great job!

Thanks for the post

How thick were the sides originally ? Beautiful combination of species and a great style box

Great job … I dig boxes with their own personality!

To answer a few questions:

Dusty56: The sides were about 5/8” or so originally

WWnovice: Most of the shaping of the sides were done with a sanding drum on my drill press. Walnut is fairly soft so it wasn’t too hard to work it down. If I were doing it again I would probably bandsaw part of it away and then drum sand
