For a long time I have been in awe of the mysterious bandsaw box. Looked super complicated to make. Finally made one, my first. Not complicated but a little time consuming. Cut off this hunka maple from one of my big slabs. Put a 1/8" blade on my bandsaw and started. Also first time I have ever used a 1/8" bs blade. Had it for a long time, just nebber used. Learned sumptin' quickly. IT'S FUN! Can do lotsa tight curves and squigglys with it never could do before. Not a surprise, just never experienced. Tried it, like it. Enneyhow, did my slicing and dicing, glued back together and did lots and lots of sanding. Not bad for first. This was first time I ever used Titebond II glue. Might be good for some applications but the glue seams dry yellow and almost glow. Not good for this kind of application. Nothing mysterious how this box was made, seams do show. Probond had been my previous standard because it dries almost invisible.
I put some Minwax wipe-on on it, rubbed a bit and voila, a bandsaw box.
