Red Oak Black Walnut Jewelry Box

Very nice! The Red Oak and Black Walnut work very nice on this box.

Is the lid hinged, or is it set in place with a rabbet? It’s beautiful.

really nice! How did you shape the top?

The lid does have a about a 3/16 rabbit that keeps it in place. No hinges it just pulls off.

The way I shaped the top is that I made a jig for the tablesaw that holds the lid vertical and moved the blade to about a 15 degrees and just used a wooden handscrew to keep it in place. Here is an example: http://www.thisiscarpentry.com/2011/03/18/raised-panel-table-saw-jig/

Anyone that uses this configuration should take care to clamp the piece down

Nice job.. that’s a tough wood combo to pull off and you did it well. I think the sapwood tied it together nicely.
