Bear Jr’s “Bandsaw Box” (Wife’s Christmas Present)


I know this doesn’t have anything to do with Smoking or Cooking, but I’m so proud of this one, I had to show it here.

While Bear Jr was busy making a Live Edge Table, Bar, and Shelves for a Customer, he was secretly making this “Bandsaw Jewelry Box”, for Bethany (his wife). I don’t know what all wood was used, but there are at least 4 Species in there. He lined the inside of the drawers with the same stuff I used on a Jewelry Box I made in 10th Grade. I also used it on the skulls of some Buck Racks I’ve mounted. It’s called Suede-Tex—You just Paint where you want the “Felt”, and while it’s wet, squirt the Fibers all over it. When the Paint is Dry, you knock the loose fibers off & what is left is like a nice smooth coating of Felt or Velvet wherever the Paint was.

On Edit: I just got the Species List---The Woods used were "Black Walnut", "Cherry", "Maple", and "Sassafras", With "Purple Heart" and "Red Heart" Stripes used in the Weaves.

Enjoy the Pics,

Bear

That's awesome! Definitely something to be proud of. Looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree with his wood working abilities! It's very enjoyable to be proud of our kids achievements and their abilities
