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.

Mind if I ask what finish you used? I’m thinking of making a small cabinet of walnut and cherry and I love how your project here turned out. I’d like to try your finish on a few pieces of scrap to see if I could get similar results with the grade of material I’ve got. Thanks!

The finish on this box was several coats of blond shellac rubbed out with micro mesh.
Followed by a couple coats of paste wax rubbed out.
thanks,
Greg
