Bandsawn Box: Second Attempt Bandsawn Box: Second Attempt Bandsawn Box: Second Attempt Click the pictures to enlarge them

This is my second attempt at a bandsawn box and this time I focused on making the joints and finish as neat as possible. This box is made out of a walnut off cut. The dimensions are about 3 3/4 inch cubed. It is finished with a few coats of finishing oil with has really brought out the end-grain. However, one of my main aims was to ensure the joints were perfectly flush, although i am happy with what i have done, it still could be neater.

Looking forward to your the comments.

I keep looking at your box looking for errors and can’t find any. It has been cut to look like a cube with the grain falling in place completly around the box. You have selected a wood that shows well for this purpose. You have also done a great job cutting clean and sharp lines.
Great project, Great Workmenship.

Nice work.
Gives the effect of a solid cube of wood, you really have to look for the joints.

Absolutely love the “solid cube” effect, very nice workmanship! I agree, how did you do that?

The simplicity of this box is one of its strongest features. Great job!

I love the grain matching. It is fascinating how well it flows from side to side.

Great job.

Excellent job Woody!!! The simplicity of this box showcases the wood and its inherent beauty. I favorited it so as to give it a try in future.

I’ve been trying to learn how to use my new bandsaw and I’ve had nothing near this type of quality. Perhaps I have a bad saw, or blade. Maybe I have too much coffee and shake when I try. Do you use any jigs to push your pieces through the saw or are you just amazingly steady?

Nice! But I must admit… my first thought was, “Resistance is futile!”

wow, simply stunning. I’ve made a few bandsaw boxes, but haven’t ever done a ‘straight’ box, mine tend toward free flowing curves etc… Excellent job!
