This is a new style of band saw box for me. I blended 3 kinds of wood, walnut, cherry and purpleheart together instead of using all 1 type of wood. The result I think is very attractive. What is also unique about this band saw box is that I didn't create a pattern in advance. I used the face grain of the wood itself to design the box.
As you can see I came up with a very unique and fun shape. This box stands about 12 1/2" inches tall plus it is mounted to a 1" inch tall, solid walnut base. The base is 9" inches long and 4 1/2" inches wide. The box is 2 1/2" inches wide.
This box has 2 drawers, and as you can see from the bottom picture the walnut, cherry and purpleheart wood blend carries through to the drawers as well. The top drawer is divided into 2 compartments. While the bottom drawer is a single compartment with 2 different levels. The drawer pulls are made from cherry and are also designed from the grain pattern of the cherry wood. The inside of the drawers is lined with a rich green flocking.
The box is finished with 2 coats of tung oil all the way around to bring out the rich grain on all 3 types of wood. It takes extra time to do this kind of finishing but the end result is well worth it. Plus it helps ensure the craft will last a lifetime.
