Written Description of Project 3: Constructing a Vessel

In this project we were to design and construct a wooden vessel that holds something important to us. After selected this special object, we designed and built a wooden box with a lid. We worked with wood sections that were 8” x 5”. The box could be anywhere from 4 to 8 inches wide.

For the construction of the vessel, we were to glue wood sections together and cut the design from this using a band saw. After cutting the shape, we used
various tools to refine and polish the vessel.
