Band saw boxes are boxes made out of wood using only a band saw for cutting them out. The wood may be a solid block, a laminated block, or a log from the woodpile. Whereas most boxes have straight sides and square corners, band saw boxes have virtually no restrictions as to shape. They can be oval, heart-shaped, lizard-shaped, or whatever you can think up. The other main tool necessary is a belt sander to shape and sand the box smooth.

There are a half-dozen main techniques for constructing band saw boxes.
