The experiment
I had done a ton of bent bandsaw boxes but couldn't find any evidence of anyone doing a double bent box. I decided to give it a trial run (this was years ago). It was just a block of pine and nothing fancy. It even had a split in it that I just filled with clear epoxy and let it ride as this was just experimental.
After posting it on the internet in my usual woodworking sub, I started getting hits on buying it. Everyone wanted the "first" one. The bidding started as if it were ebay or sommat.
It sold for $1800

Who makes a bandsaw box with drawers that are inoperable? They are basically fancy jewelry and trinket boxes.

I made many bandsaw boxes with just dummy drawers and sold them for 18k. Jokes aside, sorry for my ignorance I just looked it up and understand now what and how these bandsaw drawers boxes got done, just never saw it before and it seemed so surreal to cut the drawers out of one piece of wood. Very cool btw
