    This is the first of several BS boxes that are gonna come from The Ultimate Band Saw Box Book. Wood is spalted maple, with 3 or 4 coats of watco oil and 3 or 4 coats of tung oil.

      Nice! Looks like your curve cutting got a work-out. How'd you sand it down after cutting? I'd worry about getting irregular edges.

                              Ah shucks! You beat me to it! Too much rain here to get in the shop and make some of the UBSB boxes.

                              BTW, beautifully done! Hope mine turn out as nice.

                                                      Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! -Rocky Balboa-

                                                          This is only a wild guess Tony, I piddled with the thing on and off for a couple of weeks, (don't normally do that but....) Probably total labor time.....maybe 3-4 hours but that maybe high. Most of the time of course is waiting on glue and finish to dry. Pat
