Ribbon Box

[Randyw81]

Here is my latest project.  I bought the book with this pattern several years ago and looked at it several times.  I finally decided it was time to try it.  I'm not real good at compound cutting, but it went better than expected.

Love it. These are on my to do list. A couple months ago I found a couple books I had with these type patterns so I pulled them out and put on the side. I want to give them a try. I like your design because it is different than square which we see lots of. The wood combination works very well. Job well done.

Beautiful!

What kind of finish did you use?

awesome job

[Scrappile]

That is a beautiful box.  I have a book of them also, somewhere.   Just never get to it.

Now that is really, really nice.

Would love to know a few more details, like size, woods used, finish, etc.  

Also a peek at the box with cover off to side.

Love to see the many projects posted, but also like to know more of the What, Where, When, and Why about said projects.  I feel I can always learn something!

Thanks

That's an excellent piece, RJ

[Randyw81]

Thanks very much for the compliments.  The oak box is 3"x6"x1-1/2" high. The ribbons & bow is made of purpleheart, basswood, and cherry.  Finish is warm semi-gloss Minwax fast-dry urethane

What book did you get that pattern out of? Love it.

[Randyw81]

It is in the book "Creative Wooden Boxes from the Scroll Saw" by Carole Rothman. It was published by Fox Chapel publishing.

Great job Randy! I have that book as well, but have not cut any patterns from it.

I believe Carole Rothman has a web site but can't seem to find it, if anyone has a link please post, thx, RJ
