Jewelry Case (with hidden compartment)

I like that hidden compartment a lot. What I really find interesting is that it shows how a decorative base like that really changes the overall look of the case. It’s a whole different look if you remove it.
Congratulations! (I assume she said yes.)
Welcome to LJ!

This is a really nice jewelry case and you did a nice job on the construction and finish. Suntanning it would speed up the aging process of the cherry but it will do it anyway of its own accord. This is a really nice piece.

By the way with the hidden compartment it qualifies for entry into the contest that is ongoing now. Are you planning on entering it?

T,
Beautiful box. good design and great execution. How about sharing a pic of the hidden jewel?

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

Very nice! I remember seeing this design a while back, but your version is excellent.

i love the project, cherry always looks good no matter what finish you use. i notice from the photos that your a lefty. curious to know if you have any problems with woodworking/using tools left handed?
wonderful work. looking forward to seeing more.

Nice. That’s a good looking piece of furniture.

And boy do you have a clean shop :)

Sigh you men who wave tidbits of potential romance past us women fail to ever finish the story! Did she say yes???

Lovely proposal gift – I bet you were doing your best to rig the response with it :)

-- The wood slayer - Yes dear I did plan to make more kindling out of that wood I have been drying for the last year - honest!

Thanks for posting.

Like several, I like your piece, your technique and write-up. But I want the dish on the proposal…
Make sure and enter this one in the contest.

What a great design. Very nice. How long did it take your fiance to find the ring?

Very nice…Great idea

That is a very cleaver design, will have to try and remember it. What is even more cleaver was putting that diamond ring in the hiding place for her to find, always room for more brownie points.

Nice work, I am sure it will become a treasured item for generations to come!
