Jewelry Box

Another great use of wood! Another great box!

What kind of hardware do you use?

-- Dorje (pronounced "door-jay"), Seattle, WA

WOW !! That is really nice! We see a lot of different styles and executions here. I really like this combination.

The execution of the splines in the lid is amazing. I’m tuned into the miter keys right now since I just finished my first project where I used them. Nice completion with the figured mahogany. I love it.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Great box. What material did you use in the trays?

That top is gorgeous – of course the rest of the box is pretty nice too. I like the mirror and sliding divider.

This is a nice looking box with excellent design. Simple, yet elegant.

Great box. I don’t know if you’ve met Don yet, but he’s gonna love you. :-)

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Beautiful box! I can’t believe I beat Don here.

The tray is mahogany.

Wow. Another stunner. Terrific craftsmanship and wonderful design Blake.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

The long time to sand really paid off on this one. It turned out great Blake.

OK – OK, I can’t blame my wonky knee forever so I just dropped by to tell my mate Blake that, like his wife, I just love this box – but I guess no one is surprised, because I just love small wooden boxes!

This is really nice, as is project 3143.

Question … did you do anything special to “pop” the figure before applying a top coat?

-- Shawn, I ask in order to learn

Nice box. The lid has turned out great.

-- Bob

Just oil and varnish. Thanks for the comments!

Beautiful work Blake, you’ve just motivated me to go out and try again. My last 3 boxes have been failures. Thankyou.
