Double-Double Dovetail Jewelry Box

A very nice jewelry box indeed. I really like the double double dovetail and your choice of woods…

That is very nice! Interesting design, great function, and careful attention to detail.

WOW! Really nice. I collected boxes made in Germany, Poland, Czech, Pakistan, Indonesia, and India when I was stationed in Euorpe which are all awesome in their own right, but I never saw anything similar to this.

It’s time to start adding American made boxes to my collection!

Nice corner post dovetails! That joint is on my list of things to try with my Incra. Any gotcha’s to watch out for, or just pretty much follow the instructions and it will all come together? (Fingers crossed…)

I like the choice of woods, nice tight joinery, and craftsmanship throughout. Good work!

gbvinc…watch out for everything…those joints bite back. If you have Perry’s book you will do just fine. Take your time. Sneek up on the cuts on the end (1/32 at a time). Glue both sufaces to be joined with a brush and let sit over night or you will be chasing pieces of your joint everywhere.

I like the contrast in woods. The joint makes for a neat effect.

Looks like the dovetail on the left where the lid meets the box is out by about 1/128. You should pay more attention to detail.

I’m kidding, of course. The precision of everything about this box blows me away. Beautiful!

Wow, six coats of finish? I just dust it off and wipe somthin on most of the time. Very cool, love the Incra stuff.
Thanks for posting!

Exquisite! There’s a word I rarely use! Equally beautiful inside and out.

I am a big fan of the IncraJig and the double-double option. Very nice work and excellent patience!

Thats a great looking box. The corners kinda imply an Aztec feel to it. Great job.

Had my Incra for eight years and never got up the gumption to try one of these. You have one exceptional nice box there, no wonder it’s in Incra’s gallery. Good show!
How did you hinge this?

Excellent stuff Odie. I really like the design and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Thanks for letting us see this beaut.

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

As I have said before Odie,you do very nice work.I know how much time and patience these take.When they demo the Incra at woodworking shows, they make it look so simple and straight forward.But if people knew how long the learning curve really was, I doubt they would sell any. :-)

Its not too difficult to make joints with this jig,but to make double-double dovetails in contrasting woods is on a whole new level.These joints are its Achilles Heal.The idea is to draw attention primarily to the joint its self,but if the joint isnt absolutely perfect,you will see the flaws quite easily,and you have failed on the entire project,no matter how nice it may be otherwise.This tool is about as perfect as any tool can be and the book is very well written,but to make boxes like yours takes skill,desire,patience and a lot of determination!

That’s great looking; superb craftsmanship.

THANK YOU ANDY…That means a lot coming from someone as skilled as you!

Excellent piece of craftmanship. Very striking color contrast. Well done Odie

Absoloutely beautiful. Don must either be on vacation for the Holidays or in bed sick, otherwise he would have chimed in on this box long ago. Great workmanship Odie.

Hi Odie;

Somehow I missed your post of this box.

Very beautiful, both in design and workmanship!

I’d give it a 10 out of 10.
