    A Smile Bandsaw Box Just Finished Today

    I just finished this bandsaw box today; my first serious attempt. The Smile Box design is originally by Parillaworks.

    Mine is white oak, with an American cherry drawer pull and Myrtlewood feet. The box was finished with Danish oil, and for the pull and feet I used walnut oil.
