A few boxes headed to the gallery (hopefully)...

[Ryan Sparreboom]

I made these boxes and plan to take them to a local gallery to see if they are interested in selling them for me, we'll see....

This first one is african mahogany, birdseye maple and purpleheart. The tray slides back and forth and I didn't show it, but it also has a purpleheart corner key. The bottom is just felt. I finished the box with wipe on poly and rubbed out with paste wax.













Thanks for looking.
Please let me know what you think.

And here is the other box. Hard maple and purpleheart. Actually my first attempt at a bandsaw box, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. It's also my first attempt at flocking. It wasn't difficult, turned out great, and looks way nicer than the felt adhesive. The top drawer is only 1 compartment, the bottom drawer has 2.











Thanks for looking.
Please let me know what you think.

Nice work !!

[John Olson]

Love how tight all the pieces in the lid of the first box are.

Great boxes! I just installed a raiser block and new Timberwolf blade so I... well my wife and I, can make our first Bandsaw boxes. However this string is about you and our work and I gotta say they look GREAT!

[John Keeton]

Nice work, Ryan. Hope the sales go well, and perhaps you will develop a consistent market for your work. The mahogany and curly maple make a very nice contrasting piece.

[John Thompson]

Very nice Ryan. I may attempt a few of those band-saw boxes one day when she quits requisitioning for carcass pieces for our home. I like that one a lot..

[Paul Chinetti]

The bandsaw box is excellent. Where can I read about this technique I've never heard of it before?

[Jack Camillo]

That's beautiful work. Best of luck with the sales.

And let us know what you get for them. It's understood that pieces will sell differently in different areas of the country, and the salesman/gallery in this case will have a major impact on what it sells for, but it would be of interest to your fellow woodworkers just the same.

[Harlan Coverdale]

Great work on both boxes. You chose some nice combinations of wood. Best of luck with the sales.

[Ryan Sparreboom]

Thanks guys. I will be sure to let you know what happens at the gallery.

Paul, there are lots of books and info on the internet about Bandsaw boxes. I got one of Lois Venturas books and this box is a variation of one of her designs.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Ryan.

Nice job on the box.
The contrasting woods work well together.

Good luck with getting them into a gallery.
Might be a nice little side business to pump up the tool fund...
Let the sales start...
