Hi everyone, just finished 2 more band saw boxes.
The first one is from beetle pine, as you'll see the top drawer has a finger hole - thought I'd do them all that way but quickly discovered the lack of space in the others. The finish is 2 coats of BLO, lightly sanded, followed by clear lacquer. This is this first time I've used spray lacquer and it was a learning process in itself. Still have a couple small dribbles to work off.
First photo shows the box side after a 100g up to 220 sanding, 2nd and 3rd are after the BLO was applied - really popped the grain out and 4th is the finished (!) box. Green flocking for the drawers. 9 1/2"h x 4 1/2"w x 4"d.

The second box is from the same wood - beetle pine, finish is 4 coats of clear WOP, water base. The large drawer on the left has an upper and lower cavitiy. Will be flocking with a medium green moss color.
Now to try some scroll saw boxes, I have pine, mahogany, cedar of various thicknesses - put a test on my skill at resawing.
thanks for viewing
