I opened my mouth and offered to make something again for a fund raising auction. Running short on time, I looked through my scrap pile and found some surprisingly nice wood. The sides, top, and drawer fronts are figured and spalted maple. The sides are re-sawn and book matched, as are the top and bottom. The drawer faces are a continuous piece and the necklace hangar fronts are also book matched. The case dividers, drawer sides and back, and necklace racks are made of cherry. The finish is several coats of wipe on poly and a final coat of paste wax. Hopefully, it will raise at least a little money at the church auction.

Nice job for a quick one. Beyond the timber itself I also like the styling of the drawer pulls and the recess they are in. What are the pulls made of?

Oops, missed that one. The pulls are walnut.

Chris, feel free – the design is similar to other jewelry boxes also on the site.

OK – that’s awesome. Just out of curiosity, what constitutes “quick”? That would take me a couple weeks… and wouldn’t look as good.

Honestly, I have no idea of how many hours were involved. I fit in an hour here and an hour there whenever I get the time – usually in the evenings. Start to finish was around 4 weeks, but parts would often sit for days between shop sessions. It seemed to go quickly when I was actually working.

Beautiful work. You’ve given me some ideas for my next boxes.
Wanted to ask if you’ve built any special jigs/fixtures to handle the small parts when milling and cutting pieces of wodd for the boxes?

I haven’t really made any jigs or fixtures for small parts, but that is mostly because I have a Hammond Trim-O-Saw. You can see what this is under my reviews. I can securely hold and cut pieces down to 1/4” x 1/4” x 1/2”, perhaps less (haven’t tried).

It’s amazing what we find ourselves doing after a brief moment of insanity while our mouths are open, isn’t it? ;-) Looks like it turn out very well.
