this is a simple jewelry box i have made for a gift, its made of walnut and red cedar, the inside bottom divider’s are red cedar and the rest is walnut, the handles are from a old heart pine fence post and are loaded with growth rings, i used some dogwood for the handle and screw plugs, and it will be finished with tongue oil. the handle design i used from another lumber jock who is a proficient box maker . this was a fun project and i plan on doing more that are simuliar…..

I would love to see more boxes like this one. It has so many elements to it. I like every thing about it and I’m definitely bookmaking this one.

I really like this one. Very creative. The shapes of the handles really set this off.

Nice grain patterns – I like it when the use of the natural walnut includes all the features of the wood. “Steamed & Darkened” walnut is too even and unnatural. The drastic contrast to me creates the beauty. The top looks like an especially nice grain pattern.

Elegant box. I like everything about it. The blind dovetails looked great and the handle was a very good choice plus all the other small details. Well done!

I have said this before,, I am sticking with my boards… and leave the box making to the experts.
It has continuity of design and a fine use of all components. The timbers both contrast and compliment.
Fine example of a fine design.

Grizz,
That is one fine box! I especially like all the detail that adds to the beauty. That handle is spectacular!
Boxes are such fun to make. You have become quite the artist in designing and making them!
Keep ‘em coming! I love your work!
