Ambrosia Maple\Bubinga Wine Boxes

Beautiful boxes. Every bottle of wine should be given in a box.

Love the ambrosia maple! Also, I really like the way you shaped the handles.

Thanks helluvawreck and Courtney! There were a fun little project. All made with 1 wide 6/4 plank. One of the best $24 I’ve ever spent on wood.

Very well done. I just might have to steal these designs.

-- ok, is it cut once measure twice, cut twice measure once???? I know....I'll just keep cutting until it's long enough.

Thanks blade! Steal away! I borrowed the design a Wood magazine article. The article called for a rounded top and bottom which render the box unable to stand up. It also called for a band saw so even if I wanted to, it would have been tricky for me to cut the curve since all I have is a jig saw. Not the best when you want to cut through a 5” thick board.

BTW, Grizzly confirmed my new jointer should have shipped from MO today. Not sure when the drop off date is through. Thanks again for that coupon code. :)

Nicely!
