A gift for my daughter.
Cherry and walnut jewelry box.
Sliding tray with hidden storage in the base.
I had this piece of figured walnut hiding in my shop for several years waiting for the right project.
Black velvet lining.
Original design from Wood mag. I changed it to my liking.

I love boxes and that is a humdinger. Has a sort of orental flavor to it to me. Great workmanship.

Yes, the bottom tray will accommodate necklaces nicely.

It is really a hidden compartment that is not easily visible. She does keep her necklaces in there.

Really nice. I especially like the wood choices. They go nicely together. And that crotchwood piece you chose for the top is awesome. Great job.

Good job. Nice contrast with the splines and the accent in the “handle” on top.

This is a nice box. I really like the cherry and walnut combination. The grain pattern of the walnut is gorgeous. I will have to put a box like this on my list.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Good choices of wood and design. I like it.
I also noticed the wrap around cherry grain matching. Good job.

Very nice! I really like the use of the base as an ‘extra’ necklace tray.
