This was a Christmas present for my little girl. She will be two next week. I figure it is only a few more years before she starts getting me to fill it with jewelry!
It is made from soft maple and purple heart. The finish is Danish oil and wax. It is about 7” x 5” x 4” I am really happy with the way it turned out and my skills continue to improve.

Beautiful little box. The hinges are very nicely done. What method did you use to cut the hinges in? Lastly, what did you use for the bottom (material wise)? Thanks!

Great box. Nice combo of woods. Really like the mitered keys. Gives it a nice toch. Am sure she will treasure it for years.
Keep it up.

WWilson,
Thanks for the compliment on the hinges. I mortised them very delicately with some sharp chisels. It was really very easy, if I took my time. I scored around the hinges first with a knife then went to work with the chisels. The bottom is a floating panel made from 1/4” birch ply.

Very nice I am sure she just loves it. There will more then likely be many other little trinkets to go in there before jewelry though.
