Bandsaw Birds and Box

[ValleyBoy]

Been doing a major sort out of the workshop and came across some bits of wood that weren't big enough for pens, plus I actually fancied a bit of a change, so I made these birds on the bandsaw. It's literally 4 cuts and a bit of sanding. This motley crew are made from sycamore, walnut, beech and a cross-cut libernum. I also have an oak version that didn't quite make the photo in time.

While I was at it I also made my first ever bandsaw box. I know, I am quite late to the party. Even though the one I made could be better, I liked doing it so much I'm now eyeing up every bit of wood I have lying around...

Cheers
Ash

Box and Birds are excellent!

I’ve tried bandsaw boxes and am still, shall we say, developing my technique

They all look good to me, and sometimes something different to pens is just what's needed....

That's a nice eclectic mix of birds, very nice indeed, only just worked out doing boxes on the lathe, now you go and confuse me with a band saw... Lovely job

Very nicely done Ash.
I still haven’t figured out how to spin the wood on the bandsaw yet.

Thanks Bill

(The secret is to spin the bandsaw, not the wood…).
