Pineapple Welcome Box

[Band Saw Box]

Hello Everyone
Evelyn started a new job about 2 weeks ago I wanted to make a box or dish of some kind but I didn't know what until a few days ago. The company she works for has a pineapple as it logo. I remembered that I had a book with a pineapple box. It's called "Custom Wooded Boxes For The Scroll Saw" by our own Diana Thompson. It's the Pineapple Welcome Box in the book. I used poplar for the box it has just the right amount of green, yellow and brown. I did a glue up of 2 pieces of 3/4" for the box sides and 1/4" lid and box bottom and glue up of 2 pieces of 1/4" for the lids underside, this part was a change I made I thought 1/2" would look better the 1/4" since the box was 1 3/4" tall. I used shellac for the finish. Evelyn is happy with the way it turned out. I think I'll be making some more of these once her coworkers see it. As always any and all comments are welcome

Great looking box Dan. I use that pattern for wood trivets

Came out really well. Does this mean you're moving to Hawaii?

[Band Saw Box]

Thanks Larry and Carole. No we are not moving to Hawaii we like it were we are and beside Larry would have to give up the top scroller position if I were to move there
Oh I forgot to say that I enlarged the pattern 20% it makes the box a bit more useable.

I liked that one when I saw it in the book years ago. Great job on it!! Love the wood choice and the finish looks excellent!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Dan, but there are allot of great Scroller's out there and I think you fit into the group as well. Oh, and by the way, there is still more room here in the Islands. You all can come for a visit and stay as long as you wish...

Thanks everyone for the complaments on the box and the comgrats for Evelyns new job. Her boss really liked the box and asked if I could make one for her. She wants her to be a little darker. I have the box sides gluing up how. I'll have another project for Evelyns office just about finished pictures and thread coming soon.
