A Child's Stacking Toy Grows Up - Now My Fancy Wood Box

A viewer, Steve, sent me a set of pictures and asked how to turn it. I had to scratch my head and recall presentations by Janice Levy and others. Then figure out how to cut an inner box out from the center of a larger box.
First conclusion. Don't cut it out of the same block - well, almost. But first elongate the lamination so that the plies are identical. Then turn the two stacks to fit together as if they had be cut apart.
Second project. What is the order of operations? How to I mount the wood to do what is required. This led to a secondary question - How to switch mounting from one end to the other end to proceed.
While at it, I souped up by band saw sled to safely make the cuts. Well, I had previous band saw sleds for Celtic knots and straight cuts. This one did not require precision like those, but still needed to be safe while cutting a freehand curve. While I was at it, I found that the sled could also cut a smooth curve like John Beaver uses for his works.
Woods: Walnut, yellowheart, wenge, maple, cherry, bloodwood, and dyed veneer.
Finish: wipe-on poly
Size: about 6 diameter and 5 tall.
Enjoy.
p.s. If you would like a more in depth demonstration than my weekly videos, please contact me for an IRD (Zoom Demo) on this or other topics.

Fun to make - fun to play with. Alan
Thanks Alan, nice work, A bit much for me but maybe I will try it. Also, you may want to keep Philippians 4:8 a bit longer, rather than a "flash".
