Bombe Box

Very nice box Kerry. I like the curved sides, adn the contrasting colors of the two types of wood.

A great box. Nice design

That is a gorgeous box. I love the shape.

Beautiful. The shape really makes it special.

So tell us how you shaped the sides. It's a good looking box and I, for one, would like to know how you did it.

Kerry,

This is a gorgeous box. You executed a nice design in building this one.

Nice job.

Very well done.

beautiful box ! what is "BLO" please ?

Great looking box - good design, great finish.

Dusty65 - BLO is Boiled Linseed Oil - a very popular and efficient finish.

Very cool looking box.
I know what a pain it is to get all the sides coming out exactly where you want them to.

yes, nice box, the curved sides add an interesting difference, well done.

Intersting design and great choice of wood.

as has been said above. I like it. When something makes you take a second look you know you did something really right, or really wrong…LOL. You did good.

Thanks guys.

Lee - I joined the sides together 1st, then tilted my tablesaw blade a few degrees, set the fence and ran the long sides through, turned it upside down and ran them through again. I then removed the fence and used my mitre guage to cut the short sides. Afterwards I clamped it in my bench vice and finished shaping the sides with a #4 1/2 (the only plane I had at the time .

For those who mentioned the choice of wood - I REALLY like the look of walnut with red oak. To me they just look like they were meant for each other.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Very nice job.

nice curves was it easy to make the curve in oak or did it give u hassel cuz oak gives me alot of problems when i try to work it with any tools.

Thanks. No, I found it fairly easy to make the curves in the oak.
