Curly Cherry keepsake box

Very clean looking miter keys. Fantastic for a first time,
or any time for that matter!
What blue material is that I spy beneath the lid?

-- Still learning everything

bravo!
is this your small box entry for the Awards?

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

That’s nice. Good job on the keys.

the inside is lined with sparkly purple felt.

-- Jerry Miller

thank you very much for the compliments. I was told that the miter keys are as easy as they look. My only problem was that the purpleheart was a tad difficult to work with.

-- Jerry Miller

I hadn’t thought of the small entry awards. Hmmmmmm!

-- Jerry Miller

Nice box. I’ve worked with purpleheart and it is a bit hard to work. I’ve never worked with cherry so I guess I will soon after seeing your work. A nice combination of woods.

Looks really nice! I’ve been wanting to try miter keys myself. Did you make a 45 degree angle jig for the cuts?

Great job!

Looks like good tight joinery, and its very nice… but all I can see is two sides. Can we see the top or inside? Nice wood choice as well.

Thanks, these are the only photo’s that I took. Sorry

-- Jerry Miller

Yes I used a 45 degree miter sled. It was too easy with the sled. I got the sled instructions from a boxmaking video but I can tell you how I made it if you need help.
