Granddaughters have lots of jewelry! This is the first one for two girls.
This has a walnut frame, local figured maple on the doors and drawers, and spalted maple on the top.
It has a necklace holder on a ball bearing disc in the vertical compartment. Bill also made wooden hinges. I made the lampwork glass beads for the handles.

Very nice work, the beads are very cool, glass work is right up there with woodwork for me, but have never tried it, love the way you can blend colors and melt the glass together. Very cool.

Love it! I’ve been trying to decide on a design I like for a jewelry box for my wife. I think I’ve found it and I hope you don’t mind if I make a copy for her.
