Anna's Jewelry Box

That is a stunning box. I love the lid and the fact that it’s two pieces – a very clever and attractive design. Would you post photos of the “round plane” that you fashioned?

Great looking box and I also love the lid.

Very artistic box I like the mix. please! show pic’s. of the round plane? thanks! Also could you please! get some close pic’s. of the pallet table and underneath also? thanks!

Wow. All on pallets! All I ever see is pine :(

Very nice job, I like the cooper lid. I like the fact that you used reclaimed materials. I too use pallets, old flooring, crates headed off to the dump, and diseased trees that the city had removed. The only bad thing is, we cringe when we see usefull lumber headed to the landfill and we have no way of retrieving it.

Great job, I also like your obscure cabinet with drawers. Look forward in seeing your future projects.

Mtkate – If there are any lumber yards or mills or any plant nearby that manufactures anything out of wood, they’ll likely have some hardwood pallets. I have heard that Sears sometimes gets things in mahogany crates. Just keep your eyes and ears open for “waste” wood and I’m sure you’ll come up on some. Ask around too, you’d be surprised what you may find out.

Richard – I do cringe. I also regret not being able to afford a portable mill for all those trees put into the shredder or burned! I’d also love to get some old barn wood or flooring.

Everyone else – Thank you for the wonderful comments! I will try and get some more photos of the laminated oak table.

WoooAWow. That is a beautifull box.

Well done!

This is a unique and beautifully made jewelery box and as most have pointed out, the coopered lid makes the piece ! It is attention to details that often make something stand out from the rest and and it is no exception with this design and finished work ! From pallet wood to boot, very cool and out of the box thinking on this one !

Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the next one ? ROB

Very artful and original box Travis. I loved the curved top and the woods you used were perfect together.

This is great! The top has some wonderful wood to accent that nice shape.
Outstanding piece.
