First Project (Bandsaw Box)

[betacrash]

This is my first posted project and my 3rd bandsaw box in a week. The first wasnt that great and my dad sold the 2nd, so here is the 3rd (which my dad is selling). It is made of cedar and took me roughly 2 hours to make. I drew up the design by hand so it may look kinda oddball. I did not get any pictures of it with a finish. Let me know what you think good or bad.

Beta,

That is one beautiful box. I intend to utilize the finest form of flattery, I'm going to steal your design.

Is that a solid block of Cedar or a glue up? I'm sure the finish made the figure pop. What finish did you use. I have had some mixed results using film finishes on Cedar.

Very nice looking box betacrash, bet that's gonna look fantastic once you get some finish on it. I use brush on Lacquer on my Cedar boxes, pops the grain and takes on a very deep rich color after a couple weeks.

Here is a source some of us have started off with. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/155...lance&n=283155 If that doesn't work you can look it up on Amazon Building Beautiful Boxes with you Bandsaw by Lois Keener Ventura. Pat

Nice box. Very good for the third. You and Lois have a lot in common, she designed one very close to yours.

Dang. That is beutiful.

thanks everybody. i appreciate the feedback. it is a glue up of 6 pieces. the finish was laquer. i definitely like no finish better, cuz it confuses my nose to smell both the laquer and the cedar (i left the inside of the drawers unfinished). I have some walnut and some maple that I am getting ready to cut up so I will post those when I am done. I draw all of my designs in corel draw so if anyone wants the pattern, just tell me what size and I will send it to you.

Another one of those things I want to try. Beautiful work!

Nice looking! I bet it was extra stunning with a finish.

Is that a "Cobra", from the book "making beautiful boxes with your bandsaw"?? Nicely done. Obviously I have that book, very good read. Congradulations on your box.

[lrogers]

I think your design was spot on! someday, I've got to try one of those.
