This years Bandsaw boxes - Woodshop - 12-18-2017
These are Christmas presents. We had our family get together this weekend. The first four Sassy boxes in the back went to my nieces. I was favorite uncle for the day
The first four boxes in the back have deer antler knobs, All stand about 12" tall #1 and the heart box are cherry, maple and purpleheart. The rest are maple and walnut.
They are fun to make, but tedious to sand and finish.
all finished with gloss oil polly

Those are sweet! My granddaughter would love one, though she's a bit too young I think. Maybe in a year or two.
But how did you hide the entrance cuts into and between the drawer openings so well? I can't see them at all.

Now that is neat! I want to try my hand at bandsaw boxes but haven't had the chance yet. This inspires me to get off my arse and try it!

What perfect little gifts. Just the right amount of novelty and function.

Nicely done!
I'm curious how you're doing the deer antler. I have a few sets of racks that I've been wanting to use, but I'm not sure how I want to go about it.

Thanks Everyone
The knobs are about 1/2" . I turn them on a lathe using a chuck. I start out on a sander to make a section straight enough to mount that could yield a couple at a time. I leave a small dowel to glue in. on these that was about 3/16. Some of them were very tight so I forced them in with my bench vice, no glue needed. it's a good use for small antler tips as long as you can hold them

Thanks.
No lathe so I'll have to do something different if I use them on a bandsaw box.
