Jewlery/Crystal Box

Fantastic work!

The “handles” are a great touch as is the spline work.

That is a very cool box. An unusual wood combination but you made it work very nicely.

The piece of wood you used for the top is amazing. The ebony really works here as well. Nice job.

What a disparate wood selection, but I do like it. I like that you left the top thicker and just thinned the sides. That may keep it from cracking and warping. It is a beautiful piece of cedar. The various carvings are varied and really make the box interesting. I like what you did on the back and the “handles” are quite clever. The front carvings have a nice flow to them. It looks like you took time to think out the interior design to make it more useful. The varied length of splines is a nice touch and gives these accented straight lines a nice balance with the arching of the carvings. A lot of thought went into this design, and it shows. You have a good eye for wood and design. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Beautiful box, and a great gift. The detail really shows some serious craftsmanship, and it’s obvious you took some extra care laying out the inside.

That lid sounded like a bullwhip crack, when I saw the grain. Wow did it pop. That box is over the top, having more interesting features the more you look at it. I can only imagine your delight, seeing all your hard work come to life.
I’m mesmerized by the shaping, and wondering what your lid-stay is. All in all, “Blue Ribbon” winner.
