How I Made This Cool Wooden Box That Looks Like Ice Cream!

Wooden boxes are great weekend projects that don't require a lot of wood or time, plus they make great gifts. This video shows a decorative wooden storage box using walnut and maple, featuring a complex scroll saw design. As always, I'll give you some woodworking tips along the way.

The pattern is from Steve Good, and his website is www.scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com. Click the Pattern Catalog button and search for "ice cream sandwich" under the "boxes" category.
