Jewelery box

Very nice.

Kaleo, this is a great piece. I specialize in small boxes, but believe this is one of the nicest I’ve seen. I appreciate the hand-cut mitered dovetails. I used the same joinery on this box, so appreciate the difficulty involved.

The picture doesn’t show the ‘ebony string inlay around the veneered top. Can you post a closeup of this?

I like your use of color matching suede lining. Where do you get this and the Paua shell inlay?

what do I think??? It’s beautiful!!
I love the lines in the top as well as inside the lid.

Great craftsmanship, & beauty. The grain figure in the wood is spectacular.

Your school is teaching you well. If you can work out the marketing/taxes/expenses/business plan information, I think you will have a great career in woodworking. I hope your school is teaching you about business planning, as it is will be as important, or more so, than learning the craft.

Keep us posted.

Kaleo, was just shuffling some past projects and this beaut turned up. What an outstanding piece. The way you used the wood and the craftsmanship is just terrific. Hope to see more boxes by you in the future. Thanks a lot for sharing this one.
