Yet another BS box, this one in spalted sycamore

That's a fancy shmancy BS box. Like the color and grain. Got a special place for it? Those drawers really pull out?

Really nice Doc. BS boxes can be addicting. Now fess up.... you have an air-conditioned shop don't you? Most days here it's too hot after about 10am to be in the shop. Pat

Looks great, Paul. Arms tired from sanding? ;-D

Yeah, I do. Keeps it tolerable unless the temp is over 110.

Looks great !

I'd like to try a BS box, but you guys keep scaring me with the amount of sanding these things apparently take.

Nice work.

Doc,

Great looking box!!

I started my first one today. I will post pictures as soon as I get a little further.

Nice! I like the little touch of sapwood on the left. Really sets off the lighter colors in the grain.

Beautiful work, Paul.

[Mrs. Wallnut]

Very Nice Job. I still haven't gotten confident enough to do a big one like that. I think I will stick with the small ones with a single drawer for a little longer.

[RodKirby]

Great stuff, Paul.

I'm way too impatient to do this sort of thing.

Great looking BSB Paul, all those curves make for a great looking project.

Doc,

Great looking box!!

Scott,
Don't let the sanding scare you off. There are ways around some of the issues.

Use a softer wood for your first few boxes -- sanding goes easier with that. Using an OSS helps a lot also, but if you don't have one, it's fairly cheap and simple to make a rolling pin sander (and that is what I use the most now for the BS boxes).
A belt sander would be very nice, but a random orbit sander works just fine in a pinch also.

For finer detail sanding, some PSA 5" disks stuck to various sized dowels, spline material, etc will help. A round file and a rasp will be useful also.

Hope that helps.

And another nice one. Good project.
