Another bandsaw box

[bluewing92]

A pair of boxes from the Lois Ventura book per a family member’s request. (Lots and lots of sanding). :BangHead: Althought I enjoy making the boxes from books I like being able to use my imagination and personalize each box so I can say they are my boxes.

Walnut with red flocked drawers and about 8 coats of a wipe on poly finish over a dark walnut Danish oil. Did I mention lots and lots of sanding?:qleft7:

Thanks for looking.

Very nice Norm, spray flocking ? :wsmile:

They look great! What kind of finish?

 

[bluewing92]

Thanks

Glenn, I use the tube spray to pump the flocking onto the paste/glue.

Cathy, It has about 8 coats of a home-brew wipe on poly finish over a Watco dark walnut Danish oil.

Beautiful boxes, Norm. I understand about the sanding part....I made one for a test and your are right about the sanding.....

Wow, definitely good use of your imagination. Now this is the kind of round woodworking I can relate to! Except the sanding part of course The finish looks gorgeous.

Thank you all for your kind words.

Keye, I used a 3/16 10TPI blade. It was slow going on a block of this size, but gives a smoother cut then a 1/4 blade and that means less sanding. Although sometimes I wonder.:eusa_thin
