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!

Thanks Joe, I saw that earlier. Didn't realize that was molding. What kind of molding is it... as I haven't seen anything like that at the borgs.

Corey,

I think I have the Wood Magazine issue that had the molding boxes, If I come across it in the next week or so I'll shoot you a note with the issue details.

**challagan** · 06-10-2007, 04:01 PM

Hi Doug, I have the book Making Great Boxes which is a compilation of box making articles from Wood Magazine and the box shown in the link above is one of the designs in the book. Probably the same article most likely and thanks for the offer. Just looking to see what kind of boxes the members have made here with moldings ( as Joe pointed out not just crown moldings).

Corey

Hi Corey

I have made one or two of them, they looked almost the same as your links.
The last one I made had 4 lids and 4 holes for stuff

but it was 4" Pine molding if I recall right with a walnut stain..
They are fun and quick to make because all the work is done more or less just 45deg. cuts and some glue and it's done.

It's in a BOX in the garage somewhere

I will dig it out and take a snapshot when the BOSS moves her car MONDAY ,it not a big deal just a box ...with 4 lids...

NOTE**** This type of box the Japanise use all the time to make jewelery boxs... that may tell you something

...easy and quick

I have no idea of what kind of molding it is... I got it from a neighbor who remodeled part of his house... I think this was used on the wall/floor. He did use some special stuff... but I didn't think this stuff was special.

It was just a piece of scrap that I picked up one day, looked at it, and thought of the box... & started making it... no plans.

**challagan** · 06-10-2007, 05:25 PM

Thanks Bob, would love to see it. Your right they would be easy to do and I like the look as in the second link.

Thanks Joe, looks like it might have been cut down from another molding or something. Not a standard molding anyway around these parts.... but that's the fun. I have been looking at the door casings as well.

Corey

"I have been looking at the door casings as well"

**challagan** · 06-10-2007, 06:05 PM
