Hi

Here is a recently completed bandsawn box, a Roll Top box.

Another nice box, Tony.
Would you share how you made and installed the tambour?

Tony, that is one neat design! Nice Job. What kind of wood?

[birdman]

Tony, nice work! The picture is a bit dark on my end and was wondering what kind of wood that was.

Great looking Box. The roll top is great and different.

Great box! I would love to see construction details, if you care to post them.

[John Hunter]

Very nice.

Hi

The timber is Australian Red Cedar, the insert is Birch. I used the insert as the design means approx. half of the storage compartment is in darkness.

As to the making, really no different from making a conventional bandsawn box, bandsaw the outer shape, cut two ends from the block, then bandsaw three sections following the outer shape, then glue it all back together.

(Given the interest in this design I am about to prepare a full sized Plan.)

Good Health

What can be said? Another beauty, Tony!

That is very nice. Beautiful work.

That is really sharp! You guys never cease to amaze me with your ability to turn little boxes into works of art.
