Peaked Top Box

[Denny Knappen]

This project took several weeks of Sundays and Mondays to complete.  The pattern is by Gary MacKay and found in his book 'Box Making Projects for the Scroll Saw.  I used Red Oak and Bloodwood.  It measures 6" wide x 5" high x 3 1/2" deep.  There was a lot of cutting, gluing, and sanding on this project.  Comments welcome.

Very nice piece indeed. I love the contrasting woods used. Great job!

Thanks Tony.  I used the green felt to hide the flaws that I could not sand.

Very nicely done Denny.  I like your wood choices.  I have made that box a few years back and I agree that there is a lot of sanding but it came out great.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks, DW.  I also saw your post on the other forum.  Did you make any other boxes of Gary's designs?

Thanks Ron.  I used 50% BLO and Mineral Spirits with two spray coats of Shellac.

[Dave Monk]

I really like the design and job you did. I can't imagine trying to sand the insides of the drawers. dave

Thanks all for the comments.

 

Dave, using the green felt cuts back on the sanding.

[Scrappile]

Look great.  Only problem with those types of builds,,,,,,sanding, lots of sanding as you say.  I really don't like sanding....

 

You did a great job.

[Denny Knappen]

Thanks Paul.  I hate hand sanding too.  I have machines that help.  My go to for flat surfaces is the Sand Flee.  I also used a flex drum sander and some hand sanding.
