Fish Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have gotten really interested in band saw boxes but decided to try this on the scroll saw. I glued two pieces together and cut all the pieces. I then glued it all together, four 3/4" pieces, main body, drawers etc. I had to do some sanding but was able to get it done. I found the easier way is to cut one piece at a time, two at a time are a little to thick. It's Western Red Cedar my brother gave me and mineral oil for the finish. Cedar is a little too soft for a jewelry box but it's a first try and the second I'm going to do in Walnut. The pattern is free from Carmichael workshop.com. He has several free interesting patterns. It's about 10x7 and it's a little smaller than it is supposed to be. It is going to work with my wife for her shelf in her office. I really like the smell of that wood and it comes back after the mineral oil dries. leshko, amazingkevin, TripleJScroller and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks. A few people my wife works with really like band saw boxes I've done. They've asked if I'd sell them but she tells them I can't part with them. Maybe some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
