Project Information

His - Man's valet box for my future nephew-in-law as a wedding present to match her jewelry box. Spalted/curly maple and walnut, tung oil finish with the inside flocked. The middle is cupped for change/keys/etc and one side has dividers. The lids are book matched. I wish I would have built one for myself…

Very nice.
I'm planning on building my two son's a watch box and after seeing your project, I am now going to use 2 doors instead of just 1 lid.

Beautiful job the valet. I really like the contrasting wood colors. I have been looking for a valet design for christmas presents this year and I think I just found it.

think I might try using this idea for myself. I always empty my pockets when I enter the front door. This would be a good way to keep everything tidy.

Thumbs, what a nice job: Great design, beautiful woods, book matching adds to look, very functional to use, tasteful finish, and creative concepts. I enjoyed looking through all your postings and was impressed with the variety and creativity of your work. The playful clock/fuse/TNT made me smile and laugh. Guess you will be going to the Wood Show in Indy next week. Keep boxing and keep posting.

Fabulous!
Only one problem: Makes the antique rosewood cigar box that I use on my dresser as a valet box look sort of ***********************************. Have to add this project to my to do list. :)

I love the design. May I ask how you curved the ends of the middle piece.

Beautiful valet, beautiful wood and you nephew-in-law will surely love it and appreciate the hand made gift - thank you for the inspiration - finally a gift I think my father-in-law would like and use! I love the hinges and only wish I could master that.
