Jewelry box - curved front

very nice. Ill have to check out my BBB to see if they have similar partitions at mine. Those are hard to find….

very nicely done – love the drawer pulls

Excellent work all the way around.

I’m going to have to check my local BB&B for those partitions. That kind of thing is generally pretty hard to find.

Great job on the jewelry box, and the perfect (special) person to build it for. I’ve been looking at this project since I got the issue and thinking I should build it. Just wish I had some wood as beautiful as yours. Guess I’ll have to keep looking.

Turn,

The partitions are made by NeatNix My local Bed Bath and Beyond sells the Jewelry Stax line (which is what I bought). At BBB, they were right around $15 per drawer. Looking at NeatNix’s website, it appears buying from them is about 25% more expensive.

Honestly, I was a little put off at spending around $50 for the drawer partitions, but when I spread the cost over a lifetime of use, it was a cost I was willing to incur.

Note my 8×15 inside drawer dimensions as I wanted a nice snug fit.

this came out real nice, if u didn’t have the band saw and only had a scrollsaw and a jig saw do u think u could have still done the shape for the pulls and box top/bottom?

Big Ike,

The tallest drawer front (on my version) is 2 1/8” tall. So if your scroll saw can cut stock that tall, I don’t see why you couldn’t.

QUESTION:

What type of figured maple do I have? Is it tiger maple? Ribbed maple?
