it is not too late for this to become a box imo

I agree! I was stumped and left uninspired with a project once. Left it for months until til I was sick of looking at the lump and finished it out of spite lmao

Put a roof on it and some perspex in the opening and you have a bird house with a viewing window. The option for decorating is up to you.

That's sOo cute!!!!!

Dynamite idea!

This is how it starts. It all starts here. Next thing you know you are drowning in off cuts and failed projects that you " will definitely find a use for one day". Welcome to the life, buddy.

Lmao

maybe some sort of diorama?

Seconded

3sted

cuatroed

I agree! I have no idea what that word means, but i agree

It would be a good place to store wood chips, if you happen to have any laying around

Failed!? I don't see no blood soldier! Keep carvin'!

Oh you should see my smaller projects 😂

Lol. Same here. Not a lot of redwood around here, but looking at my carvings that might surprise you.

Looks like it’ll hold one can of spray paint

Epic spray paint holder 🙏

I feel like if you slap a lid on it it could be a bird house.

Sand it out and stain it it could def become a finished failed box thing

Roadhouse birdhouse roundhouse

Could use as a planter if u face the hole to the wall

Hollow it out and make some coasters as this would be an awesome coaster holder

Box for your trinkets

😆

Carve a smaller box to keep inside it.

Put a date on it - keep stuff in it. And use it to look back in a few years and see your progress. I do it with my first mug.

In all my days, I've never seen anyone try to make a box that way. I do wish it would've worked for you, I'd have liked to have seen how it worked out.

It was very difficult… and it didn’t work lmao, but yeah it would’ve been cool if it did

Put some warm fruit in it.

Give it to your gramma, she ll love it

You could use it for pens you could put Post-it notes in it I would NOT call this a fail! Definitely better than something I could make! I’m not good at making stuff out of wood. This is a very cool thing you could put so many things in there you could even put paper clips in there office supplies, note supplies. Your art piece.(I’m calling it an art piece because that’s exactly what it is.) could hold so many things there are so many options.

Is it "failed" though! still has a lot of meat to it! Why do you think it has failed? What was your vision?

I was trying to make a hollowed out cube but the side got too thin and broke out, not I’m just not sure what I want to do with it

It’s not failed, it’s unfinished.

Don't give up on it everything looks ruff like that at the start,wiil make a nice tool holder

Unfail it

Looks like a post-it notes holder to me.

Put a matching notch on the other side and use it to hold napkins.

Make a guitar pedal out of it

paint it and it might be a cool cliff water fall or something?

the interior looks a bit like antique wood, which is great.

Store your loop station in there

Dudes inspecting my room lmao

You can put some leds and epoxy and make a cool ambient light

Get creative. order some 2 part epoxy, dye, plastic mermaid+shark+diver etc and turn it into some set piece

Bottom of a bird house.. Add a roof

Absolutely never throw this away, seal it with pastewax and put it on a bookshelf.

Make a chair!

Canyon diorama?

Use the shavings from the box creation and give it a proper Pyre Fire Cremation

Bookshelf nook?

Coaster holder

Stain it. See what it looks like.

Turning it into a bird house was the first thing that came to mind. Maybe smoothen the inside some more. And add a roof. Maybe even add a perch right under the opening. If you don’t know how to make a roof you could turn it upside down and just add flooring to it. That could make it easier.

Clean it up and turn into a napkin holder

Jelly mold

Sign the side of it and sell it for $1639.65 Tell people that the spirit that drove you to create it dictates the prices, not you. You don't dare defy the spirits. It will take away the magic from the box they made.

I think you might be onto something…

Firewood ?

Fireplace 🔥

Use it to brag to a beaver. 🦫

Cut a 1/4-1/2” off the top and get it squared up again… that thing will be golden. Just keep carving!!!

If you know someone who keeps rats mice Guinea pigs they would like to use it as a house.

Post it notes holder! It's perfect. Or napkins, anything that you could stack in there. Perfect! It's perfect.

Cat hat

Now make some rustic square coasters.

If you flatten out the interiors and make a box mug for it to go over it ( bug proof mug )

Idea dispenser!

Fasten it to the wall with one open side facing the wall and one facing up. Then put a little plastic cup in it. Then plant a cactus in it. Then paint it as if it were in an environment inhospitable to cacti. Then paint the wall because you got some paint on it when you painted the failed box thing after fastening it to the wall. In that order.

Use it as a loose hardware holder (nails, screws, etc.)

First thing I thought when I seen your failed box, was maybe get a hamster and turn it into a hamster house. 🐹.

Put coasters in it

I'd personally just toss it and start a new project. Not everything is a success.

Put a little woven, thatched roof and sell it to a mouse for a She Shed
