There seems to be something special about a band saw box. Some people love them for their unique shapes and designs, and enjoy them as pieces of art, others love them because they are practical and useful. Some of my boxes are made as jewelry boxes, and have special drawers for necklaces and rings and most all of them have a hidden drawer for your really special jewelry.

I have now added a selection of custom designed solid wood rolling pins. They are not only useful, but beautiful, and come with a hanging bracket so you can display them as part of your kitchen decor.

I love designing and building beautiful wooden items, but the best part is meeting with the people who buy them, and hearing their comments. They really get excited about them, especially about the hidden drawer.

About ten or twelve years ago I decided it was time to give up building heavy office furniture, kitchen cabinets and motel registration desks. For about 15 years after retiring from IBM, I had a very successful and enjoyable business, but it was just getting too heavy.

I found a book on how to build band saw boxes and decided that I would like to give that a try. I built a wonderful business selling custom designed band saw boxes at art shows around the western United States. What a joy, meeting so many wonderful people. It is now time to give up the art shows and cut back again, so I decided to try selling my boxes on Etsy. Wish me luck!!
