Valentines day bandsaw box

[Woodshop]

Yep it's coming.

Made this for my wife.
4 inches deep 5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide. Made of Cherry, Maple and Purpleheart.
The cherry will darken over time making the maple stand out more. should have more contrast in about a year.
It was fun and easy
Couldn't figure out how I wanted to do the intersection of points but turns out after cutting through you can just squish them all together with clamps and glue and it looks as nothing has happened

Great box.

WOW I like it
what do you do for a back or is there not one ?
and are the drawers just the pieces you end up with when you saw it out ?

Yes it has a back.
usually you cut it off the the heart shape before you cut out the drawers. but in this case I wanted it as deep as I could get it, so I added a cherry back.
and yes the drawers are from the cutout but I added curly maple for the face.


Thanks for all the compliments

That's very nice, Woodshop.
I've always liked bandsaw boxes but for some reason, I have yet to make one. I need to try it.

Bandsaw boxes are fairly easy to make.  Your imagination is all that really limits your design.
