Sculpted box

Hi

Here is an image of a two drawer box I've recently completed, sculpted from one block of Australian Red Cedar.

Wow Tony--you do great stuff! Looked at your gallery. You are a real artist. I envy you your sense of design and the availability of beautiful wood to carry it out. How thick is this stuff? Looks too thick to cut with a scroll saw. Do you use a bandsaw part of the time? I would like to try my hand at making a box or two. Thanx in advance for the info.

Excellent! Your Australian Cedar is beautiful to say the least.
And great designs too.

Hi

Thank you for the nice words. With the Diamond Fretsaw I can make boxes of 4 1/2" or 12mm depth, see -

Tony,
Welcome to the group. It looks like there are a lot of things we will want to ask you, as well as answering any questions you have.
I am truly envious of your capacity with your Excaliber. Possibly you mean 12 cm? My bandsaw will go that thick, but not very well. I imagine all sorts of stuff could just be shrunk for the rest of us.
Anyhow, beautiful box, and terrific choice of wood.
