Curved Lid Jewelry Box:
front, back, top and bottom are all out of drop peices of Curly Maple, the sides are out of drop pieces of Dark Walnut.
i don’t have any pictures on this computer of the curved lid, but it was all done with a hand plane to do the curve :)
my wife found the hardware for the hinges on a cheap box at ROSS… i liked them so we took them off that box and put them on this one. I wish i knew where to find these, very nice, they limit how far open the lid can go.
not my typical bandsaw box. :) trying something new, any and all constructive input is welcomed!

The maple looks great. Nice box. Is that cork on the inside?

What are the dimensions…...the proportions seem just about right. Maple looks great.

This is a lovely dramatic piece. The flow of the maple is perfect and the roll top sides quite unusual and fitting. Did you machine out the underside of the lid? That’s a great touch as most would leave it flat because of the work involved to make it just right. What is your finish? – for the maple glows with great depth.

Very Nice design and construction. I like the use of the curly maple next to the Walnut. Once again you have created a great piece
