My bandsaw boxes don’t always turn out as good as I want. I guess the small inperfections are really what make bandsaw boxes look interesting and handmade. I made this without any specific plan. I just wanted a small “treasure chest” look. I glued a thin block of Bubinga between two blocks of Zebrawood. I boiled strips of teak so they would bend around the edges to hide the cut lines. I added some blue flocking, brass decorative nails and a couple of handles. I think my 9 year old daughter will like it and hopefully keep it for a long time.

I think my wife would like this for a recipe box. You know… like a treasure chest for only the secret family recipes.
