Christo Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks for the kind words all! I did these boxes years ago. I used a 16" craftsman( which I completely wore out ) and spiral blades. I recently started using a newer 16" craftsman and regular blades, which I like alot more than the spirals. I used 1/4" oak luan,Since its almost impossible to find 1/4" stock 12" wide...I really should get a planer. I have to re-cut the top cornices so the wood grain matches the lid..all the parts were stack cut, 3 at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hi Chris. Welcome to the Village. We're glad you found us. Those boxes turned out great. I've always like Victorian designs. I look forward to seeing some more of your work. You can set up a User Gallery (you can find a [tut]tutorial here[/tut]) and show off a little. Anyway, welcome aboard. Jump in and have some fun!
