Design and create a bandsaw box! These neat wooden boxes are cut in parts from one big block of wood and reassembled like a puzzle. Develop your band saw skills and learn how to make the most of this versatile shop tool. We will cover resawing and cutting sharp curves with no waste material or relief cuts as well as mixing and using milk paints and finishing the wood to show off it's natural beauty. Expect to leave class with a truly unique box with a removable drawer or compartment. Previous woodworking experience will be helpful but is not required.


Additional Information:
  • A $25 materials fee will be added to the total class fee at checkout
  • Registration will close one week prior to the start of class to allow adequate time for material sourcing
  • This class is open to students ages 16 and up.

  • There is so much variety in the world of bandsaw boxes! Here are two simple, but very different examples.

Vogel, Josie

Josie Vogel is an artist, woodworker and educator, working with the skills and traditions of craft to explore sculptural forms in useful objects. While pursuing her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, she fell in love with woodworking and has dedicated her career to the craft ever since. Whether in the form of sculpture, furniture, or small goods, her work prioritizes craft, utility, and the inherent beauty of the material. She creates objects that delight the eye and are meant to be touched, held, and put to good use. Through her work, Josie creates simple and elegant forms from a material that is alive with color, texture, luster and movement.

Josie makes her work in her home wood shop, surrounded by trees (for inspiration!) in Central North Carolina. Her work is available for purchase through Hudson’s Hill in Greensboro, NC and the Marta Blades Shop at Sawtooth in Winston-Salem. You can view her latest work on her website at josievogelstudio.com.

Josie is currently the Director of Woodworking at Sawtooth.
