Nice looking jewelry cabinet. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Sweeeeeeeet looking jewelry cabinet

-- Grant...."GO BUCKEYES"

WOW ! The entire cabinet is beautiful , but the base really adds a lot to the piece. I like the way it breaks up the BirdsEye and yet glorifies it at the same time . Those small drawers look like you spent a couple weeks on them alone…Remarkable piece overall . I can’t help but wonder what the price tag was .

Thats a nice Jewelry Cabinet.

very nice!

Wow!! great looking box.

I have some birdseye maple that I got from Barlow that I want to use also. It looks great.

-- Bob K. East Northport, NY

Very nice cabinet. I really like the contrast with the walnut drawer sides and the maple fronts and finger joints. I am working on a project now and was looking for a way to show off the drawers a little, you have given me an idea and some inspiration. Great job!!

Thanks for all the positive comments. They are appreciated.

Gizmo, the design was one of my own. I did draw it up the old fashioned way with a straight edge, scale, pencil and eraser on my drafting table.

Gorgeous wood, and a really nice job of putting it to good use!

Gorgeous maple, I just love this piece. You have done some magic with all the different woods and the brass, just impeccable. I can’t say enough, it’s a masterpiece.

I must say that has got to be the best Jewelry Box I’ve ever seen on Lumber Jocks!!! Quickly favored… and really admired.

Wow! Thanks for all of the interest and flattering comments. After spending much time lurking here because I spend a lot of time on guitar building forums, with all of the great work that I have seen here, I don’t feel as my work compares to some of the work that I admire seeing posted here. However, my chest just got bigger. :) The dimensions of the cabinet are 8” x 12” across the top piece, and 19” in height from base to top. From side to side the cabinet is 10.5” across 6.75” deep.

Since I posted the pics here, I guess it’s community property now Gene. Go ahead and use whatever necessary.

I love this! Nice Job.

Vinman, I must join the chorus here…You’ve done an incredibly beautiful job with this jewelry box.

I really like the splines in the miters and your box joints. And of course the choice of woods is excellent.

I have a question. On my pieces I commonly sand progressively to 1500 grit and buff out the finish after that. You mention you wet sand…are you actually using water on ArmRSeal? and if so did that work OK… I’ve not tried it wet. Either way the finish looks great too.

Thanks for posting.

-- Martin, Kansas

Martin, yes I do use water with a drop of dish soap added for lubrication. I sand the first coat with 320, second, third and fourth coat with 400 all dry. After that I progress up through to 1000 grit sanding wet. I use a spray bottle, and then wash the slurry off to check my work. If an area needs more work I wet and then sand. Once I have a good surface, I take it to the buffing wheel. By the way, all of the parts are finished prior to assembly.

Vince

very nice. Great job on this project.

Beautiful jewelry cabinet. Everyone has commented on the wood, the finish, etc., all of which are beautiful and extremely well done, but I’ve got to comment on the design. You have it all here – small drawers, large drawers with dividers and removable organizers, a place to hang chains/necklaces. From design to finished product, I’d have to give you five stars – it is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen.

Are my old eyes deceiving me or are the rails and stiles on the doors slightly beveled? It might just be the grain giving that impression in the first picture.

Jim

A beautiful design and the birds-eye draws your attention into it. A great job.

Vince, glad to see the stock worked out well for you, looks great.

-- barlow

Thanks Barlow!! If you folks haven’t purchased any of Barlow’s birdseye yet. Take another look. Even if you don’t have anything in mind yet, you’ll find something to use this incredible lumber for. You get it in your hands and look at it. You put some spirits on the surface and admire the stunning figure. If you don’t figure it out right away, you put it down and come back to it the next day or the next week. The wood will eventually talk to you. You’ll know what to do with it

Thanks for providing the great medium for this project Barlow. You can count on me purchasing more in the future.

p.s. Scott, right now I am finishing a 3-6-9 box with a musical movement. The highlight of this box will be an extraordinay piece of art done by Danette Smith. Stay tuned!
