The last of the Christmas gifts. This jewelry box is for my step daughter. The outside is very similar to the oak one I posted last week but not as deep, this one is 12”w X 8”d X 16”h. This box has only two necklace trays and five drawers in two different sizes. The oak one had five neclace trays. It is made out of solid walnut with 1/4” oak drawer bottoms and cabinet back. All the hardware is solid brass. I stained it with Zar oil-based Moorish Teak stain, three coats of Arm-R-Seal and two coats of paste wax applied with#0000 steel wool. I cannot decide which one I like best. Which one do you like the best?

They are both beautifully done, and either one would make an exceptional gift. If I had to pick one it would be the Walnut. The dark wood has an elegance of its own.

Absolutely beautiful. Very elegant and functional at the same time. I think this is my favorite because I like the drawer combination. Great job!

Very nice Tom… I prefer the look of the walnut as well.. but only from the material point of view.. they are both well crafted and beautiful boxes.
Merry Christmas,

I’m for this one Tom. I like the look of the horizontal drawers. Great job on both! Both recipients are lucky ladies.

This one takes the blue ribbon : )
Definitely more functional and attractive to my eyes .
But then , I’ll take Walnut over Oak any day of the week : )
