Cracked Box Design
#11
I'd some requests for these patterns and didn't want to hijack another thread so I thought I'd post them here. All credit goes to "Brian in Dawson Creek" from another board who gave them to me and tutored me on building them. Sadly I can't locate him anymore but we'd shared these publicly before so I doubt he'd mind.

Thanks for sharing Gary. I may steal that plan...
BTW, Brian forgot to crack those two on the left.

Wow! Not only is the design way cool, the wood you used is even nicer. Great combination, that is some beautiful work!
Take off a full blade, nope, too long, now take off 1/2 blade, nope, too long, now take off 1/4 blade - How the H--- can it be 1/4" short????

Thanks Gary

I wonder if it would be boring with plain wood, almost looks like it screams crazy wood

That is a laminated block, yes?

Usually yes but I've a walnut log that I've been thinking about trying it from one piece

I built one of those boxes a while ago, it is a pretty cool design. Funny Steve should wonder about it being boring with blander wood. I've actually got a second box half finished sitting in my shop out of a hunk of maple - and yeah, it is a little dull looking. I built it sort of as a test project when I put a riser on my band saw and then lost interest.
Anyone have ideas on an exciting finish for soft maple? The other thing worth noting is there are a whole lot of knobs on this box, if you don't make your own they can get a little pricey!

Here's one that I did a couple of years ago.
