I've always liked band saw boxes after making a few out of "that" book. However, for my needs, those boxes don't fit. Since I sell to galleries, my work must be an original design and have a signature look that is easy to identify as mine. To be profitable they also need to have less labor in them.
Specifically, I needed to design something that could be made in no more than a couple of hours, require little or no hand sanding and use as little material as possible.
Anyway, I just took a few photos of what I came up with. The lift off lids are fused glass. The interior is flocked. The majority of the machining is done with the band saw, scroll saw, edge sander, and flap wheel sander. The finish is 2 coats of guitar lacquer. Woods are either Cherry or Ambrosia Maple.
Thanks for taking a look. Perry
