First Box

Welcome to LJ’s Don…............... Beautiful jewelry box and I love the wood. Very nice job, don’t see anything wrong with it. If anything, the rails inside might be a little “heavy”, IMO…......

Is the wood “salted” alder, or spalted alder?............... just asking because I have never heard of “salted”, not that that means anything…......... LOL

Keep the projects coming…........

Really eye catching choice of wood and great looking first box. Well done. My only very minor comment is that I would have to second Majeagle1 in that the sides are just a little heavy for the size of the box.

Beautiful!!

You are off to a great start. That DVD by Doug Stowe is great. Nice wood for your first box.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

Heck of a nice job!! Great choice on the species of wood – the finish really turned out nice.
Good job with all the photos too – nice to see the development.
