This jewelry box is for my sister for christmas. Now after my Wife has watched me make this for my Sister, I know I need to get to work on one for her.
Wood is Black Limba for the top and legs and Walnut for the sides, bottom and dividers.
Finish is Super Blond Shellac and 2 coats of Danish Oil.

Very nice. I’ve never seen a leg/joint setup like that.

Awesome work. Another idea might be to incorporate necklace organizer in the bottom of the lid. It can be as simple as strips of velcro glued to thin slices of the liner material

did you use a router/jig to make those cuts on the leg joints? or I suppose you could make a jig for the table saw as well. Or maybe even easiest would be to cut with dado blade while the stock is square then “angle” off the “legs”? I wish people would discuss their order of operations ‘n joinery more often…..beautiful box btw

A rather spiffy looking box with some very interesting joints. I’d really like to see what kind of setup you use to cut them.

The legs were cut from one continuous piece. I used a dado at a 45 degree, ran it through on both sides. Then cut them to length, curved them on the bandsaw. Then finished them with a chamfer cut on the router table.
The top is connected with barrel hinges. I was sweating it a bit when I chamfered the top on the table saw. I was just waiting for the blade to hit the brass hinges in the wood, luckily no.
