2nd Attempt at a bandsaw bow

Very nicely executed, good wood combination. Did you flock before or after finishing the rest of the box.

Thanks….I flocked after applying 3 coats of wipe on poly making sure the inside was sealed with poly as well.

This is a beautiful band saw box. Nice work!

Appreciate the added info Hermit.
I’m going to try flocking & looking for how others do it.
Jim & some others mentioned using matching paint color versus the “adhesive” to “glue” the fibers.
What did you use?
Thanks

I used …

As you can see by the side of the can I knocked it over and lost half of it. Next time I’ll put the adhesive in a Tupperware. I had to much work into it to trust the paint. So I’ll always use the adhesive. That’s just me.

You did a fantastic job!
What blade did you fail with and what blade was successful?

First tried a 1/4” blade and couldn’t make the sharper turns. Probably user error and lack of experience but I found the 3/16” 4 tpi skip tooth from highland woodworking to be a breeze. My local Rockler doesn’t stock them so I had to order them.

Edit….thanks for the compliment I appreciate it.

I like the design. Haven’t tried making one yet, but think I will after seeing yours. Good job.

I did my first one way back in the 70’s , lol a heart cutout with an M for my last name on the outside , dont know what happened too it , , Nice work .

-- only take credit where credit is due

I made the same mistake you did with the blade … what difference could 1/16” make … A LOT! I purchased the same book and make a box in my spare time and worked out nice. I used the same flocking too, but didn’t put enough of the flocking on the inside so the adhesive kinda shows thru … don’t skimp on the flocking!

Nice box … thanks for showing it. In case you are interested Pinterest has a boat load of bandsaw boxes that people have displayed. Great for ideas and inspiration.
