Cedar Bandsaw Box

[David Wilson]

Well folks I am at it again. Tried building a bandsaw box out of cedar. I know soft woods are not recomended but had to try one. Finished with watco natural and shellac. What do you think.http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=27380&stc=1&d=1134331526

Forgot to mention, the handles are walnut.

Very cool box, Dave. Does it still smell like cedar, or is the inside sealed? What size blade do you use for something like that?

Thanks for rour reply. The box has no smell as it is completely sealed with shellac. I am using a 1/4" blade. the smallest I can use on my 18" Rikon. If you can use a smaller blade on your saw tight curves would be easier.

Very nice Dave. You are getting good at those.:)

[Michael Stafford]

David, you are getting quite good at these boxes. I still haven't made a bandsawn box. Yours sure look great!!!:D :D :D

Dave, That box looks great! I see no problem with soft woods. What's wrong with that? It sure makes the sanding easier. I've made some using cherry,walnut, and mahogany and I love making them. You're off to a great start. Alan
