Nice looking jewelry box.

It looks like a great build with some nice wood. How are you going to top it as a gift for this Christmas? I am curious how thick the sides were when you started the cove cut and how thin it is in the middle? I have watched the David Marks video where he does this, but have not done it myself. Great look for that box.
Thanks for sharing. Robert

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

This is a beautiful piece. Stunning combination of woods, design, finish. Those tiny dovetails are awesome!

Nice!!! The combo of the wood is really nice. I never thought about putting trim like that around it.

I like the cohesiveness of this jewelry box. Not over-the-top, but plenty of beautiful details, from the overall design, to the coved sides, to the tiny dovetails, all showing it was made by a craftsman.

I’m also curious about the coved sides? From the pictures, it appears there’s not much walnut left in the center of the cove at all.

Very nice work!

Thank you all for the kind words. The walnut stock was approximately 3/4 inch thck at the beginning. The center of the cove is something like 1/4-ish. (I did not measure it). Initially I wanted to spline the miters, but kept cutting through the cove – and in the process shrinking the box….

@ Robert: cutting the cove was not hard at all. It was my first time as well but went really smoothly.

Good looking box. Thanks for posting.

God Bless
