I sold this box the morning we put it on display at a show and don't remember if I posted it here.

  I took about 12 panels all ready glue up and was ready for the patterns as I don't like to install patterns until I get ready to saw the pattern out. A lesson learned there! I used 12 panels all 3/4" thick for the body and only sawed out the interiors of 10 panels and the other 2 was for the clamps for each  end..

  This was on a vacation and I screwed up one pattern gluing it on so we went in to South Fork to the library and I printed another pattern ...I never use any of my original patterns for I put them up in case someone wants one like I've already made. This is where I found out one printer doesn't always make the exact same size as the original from another printer and after I sawed out that last piece for the body I found it was about 1/16"  shorter both directions of the others

I had already sawed out...

  From the very first band saw box I built I realized the blade was making more gap between boards that by the time I had sanded every thing smooth, I ended up with way bigger gaps  than I wanted. So I only built one band saw box.

  So the way I glued each panel to each other I used 4, 1/8" dowels between each panel. This meant I could only glue one panel at a time then wait till the was dry before I could drill four new holes to make that panel match up with the last one glued.

  The fronts and the backs of each drawer was the last things after I made sure all the sanding was completed.

   I used ash for the body and mesquite for the drawer fronts. To get the two toned ash wood on the outside I taped off areas and used the air brush to make it look like the wood was stained before I glued them up. The drawer pulls are glued up bamboo for flooring.

Beautiful box. That Mesquite just pops the drawers.

Love the contrasts of the woods and grain. Your imagination and creativity is amazing Patch.
