Been a bit warm here in the shop, but did find some time to make a few more band saw boxes this week. The Chest box is my design, but other were patterns from one of the books I have. The mushroom box was really fun to make. Coated with 4 layers of laquer so far. All boxes are made with Koa with Koa pulls except for one that has Avacado pulls

DW, the call Koa a hard wood, and some of it really seems hard, but most of the time it's because my blade is getting dull. I find it really easy to cut on the band saw and scroll saw.

Hi Larry - nice work!

Our scrolling SIG is discussing using spiral blades at our March 17th meeting. After past bad experiences with the spiral blade, I took the time to cut two different projects (below) with spirals using a combination of Pegas and Flying Dutchman.
