Seen several articles and photos in books of boxes carcases made out of crown molding materials. Would love to see some of you artisans out there that have done the same! Here are some samples. Just another way to make a box!

Also I expect for the most part that you are limited to oak and pine and mdf at the home store. Anybody have a source for other hardwood crown molding? I guess you could get one of them big honking crown molding router bits. Seems like those would be nice in a vertical router set up!
