Ambrosia Maple Bandsaw Box
Chunk of Ambrosia Maple just lying on the shelf, somehow it looked like it needed to be a box.
Thus a bandsaw box.
10 inches tall, 5 inches wide, 3 3/4 inches deep.
cut on an old Delta 10inch bandsaw with sanding afterwards.
The 4 drawers are all flocked with green flocking.
Drawer pulls are simple store bought knobs.
Finish is wipe on poly, then buffed, waxed and rebuffed.
Fairly straight forward bandsaw box method. Cut the outline of the box, cut off the back. cut out the drawers, etc.
Why this piece of maple turned slightly darker, have no idea.,,,,but it gave it a better look.
The streaks in the maple helped the look of the box.
Not a big fan of bandsaw boxes but this one turned out okay.

Looks nice! I don't have much dexterity for bandsaw or scroll saw work anymore. I like those knobs. What store did you buy them from?

Have no recollection of where the knobs came from. Been in a storage box for some time. Sorry!
Thanks all for the comments.

Fantastic saw work Ron! That requires a fair bit of concentration to keep the flow like that on the saw.
Wish I could "color in the lines" as well, that box is neat.

For someone who doesn’t care for band saw boxes your project looks like it was made by an expert. Great job Ron.

Thanks J & J. Do have a couple I made some time ago, less in size and number of drawers.

Nice job 987... that flock gives the insides a great finish... I love to flock.
I've always wanted to make one of them boxes... but I've sacrificed all my chunks of wood into making bowls to hold RC's wallet..
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
sad how youve raped rc over the years !!! first stole his sander then took his wallet ! feel good duckie ?

His sander was never stolen... he bequeathed it to Aniela M. to do another "How to sand wood" video.

Thanks LBD,

Very nice looking jewelry box, and all those super soft corners and edges look like there was a whole lot of sanding going on.
