You may remember Carole Rothman’s guest article A New Approach to Beautiful Bowls where she discussed her method for creating amazing bowls without a lathe. Well now she’s turned her attention to boxes with her new book Creative Wooden Boxes From The Scroll Saw. And as you’ll see ...
Continuing our viewer project collection series, we have some beautiful boxes for you to check out today. Here’s are a few projects submitted by Anthony: I would love it if you could show a few of my recently made boxes. I am quite proud of them and I would like to see what some real woodwo...
Made these two jewelry boxes for my daughter and daughter-in-law. The top is a rose inlay from Rockler. The rest of the box is out of curly maple. The box sides were stained with a walnut stain at first to make the curls pop and then sanded back and then stained with an oak stain. Then sprayed 6 co...
A friend designed these boxes and I made a bunch from exotic scraps I saved. They are approximately 2 X 3 X 6. They make great small gifts and they are easy and fun to make. Just a bunch of glue ups and 1/8″ brass pins for hinges. Thanks Marc for all you do for the wood working community. ...

Johnny submitted a couple of great projects made from recycled timber! I envy folks who live in areas that have the option to recycle. Its environmentally friendly, its cheap, and the wood itself brings a sense of age and maturity that can’t be achieved with stain or dye. And for anyone wh...
This Viewer Project comes to us from Russ. He writes: I wanted to submit something for your Viewer Project portion of the blog. It’s a trunk that I made for a former player of mine that is getting married on Friday. She’s a great kid and did absolutely everything I asked of her the t...
3 coats of wipe on satin poly. I added 1Ã?â??3’s on the bottom with t-nuts so that the tops are secure to the base. I am looking forward to many projects with these tops and maybe it’ll give you an idea on how to do it cheaper with a little imagination. Enjoy! ...
