Paduak Jewelry Box

Wow this is outrageously cool fantastic work

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Interesting design, it has given me some ideas on what to do with my angle grinder that I just got. Nice job.

very cool box. Thanks for sharing

Another fantastic art box. Great design. It looks like wind sculpted stone. (except for beeing woo) haha.

Great choices in wood. Paduk and Curly Maple go very nicely together.

Keep up the fantastic work.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Just beautiful!! Love the wood contrast and the shape.

Jeremy hi,

As said before (above) – nice work.

My question is ~ the work has a number of convex and concave shapes, the box appears to be finely finished/sanded. How did you do that?

Have you considered applying the convex / concave shaping to an irregular shaped work?

Beautiful Box. I like the shape, the wood contrast. Great build

Really nice. Great work.

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

Once I am done shaping it with the side grinder, I just use a Bosch ROS w/ 80 grit to smooth out all the marks then work my way to 320. It won’t get into to the all the edges, so I just hand sand those. Slap on some poly, steel wool, then paste wax. Buff and done.

Beautiful art!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Sweet box. I really love what you did with the shaping.

Beautiful box mate. Love the shaping. Did you use an angle grinder / sander to do that with?

Looks like an “Andy influenced box. Your shaping and design sense are very skillful.
Thx for sharing.

Very wild.

Go to the extreme and then some.

Looks wonderful.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

One of a kind and top notch! Also an excuse for a new tool. Thanks Jeremy.

Jeremy, this is an eye-catching box. You chose a nice set of complimentary woods for the construction but the sculpting adds visual interest to the box.

This one certainly is an inspiration and I can well understand why you are “getting into” boxes.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

very nice job

Jeremy, Absolutely beautiful! I am in the process of making a box for my beloved Black Lab’s remains and would like to know how you finish the box, i.e wipe on poly? I appreciate it. This is one of those bittersweet projects

Cheers,
Michel

i’ve found that wipe on poly and paste wax work great as a finish for these boxes. it’s easy to apply and has a very good feel to it once you’re done. only variation i use is applying shellac instead of poly when using cocobolo.

-- Jeremy, Baton Rouge, LA - rayburnfinefurniture.com

very cool

Very nice indeed. What did you do to finish the box?

It looks great, I’m working with some padauk and want to retain its luster.

Thats a pretty neat box. I really like the curves on the outside and the design of the tray!

So is that for you or the misses?? Looks like a man box (if their is such a thing)

Can’t believe I missed this one!! Wow, you really did a nice job on the grinding and choice of woods. Just beautiful…...........

The wood choice is perfect. The layout and balance of your pattern is excellent.

I may have to take up this type of box making. This produces such a gorgeous project.

Most excellent work overall.

That’s a really cool box. Well Done!

-- Remember, measure twice, cut once
