I saw this in Wood Magazine last year and had been wanting to build one for my wife. It was fairly difficult to build since I don’t have a band saw and some of the pieces would have come out much better with one.. but it’s done and on her side stand just in time to fill it with a few new pieces of jewelry and wrap it for her Birthday.
Wood used: Bubinga and Curly Maple.

Very nicely done. Kinda reminds me of “Bridge Over Falling Waters,” or is it “House Over Falling Waters”—I forget?

Correction: The Frank Lloyd Wright project I was trying to think of is named “Fallingwaters” according to my brother the architect, and it is located in Millrun, PA or what is sometimes referred to as Bear Run, PA. This is added as an additional compliment since my brother likes the piece, and he is far more artistic than yours truly.

Thank you for the feedback; it’s always humbling to hear what everyone thinks of things we build.
Very much appreciated

Very nice Dog. Did you have to provide fodder for the box as well?

Very unique design and beautiful choice of woods. I especially like the curved drawer front. Sanded rather than bandsawed?

Thank again to everyone!
JumboJack… I tried to search around the internet to act as though I new what fodder was so I could answer your question…. the closest thing I could find that sorta matched up was resins from trees can be used for finish work in some cases… and then there was feed for animals but couldn’t make the correlation; so I officially give up and ask if you could explain what you mean about “Did you have to provide fodder for the box as well?”
Gfadvm… yes I rounded it with my belt sander. Until I can purchase an appropriate sanding station I usually use my Irwin clamps, turn my sander upside down and clamp it to my workbench… gives me something close to a tiny stationary sander to free up both hands and try to shape things. I could have gotten it a bit smoother but I had to stop and throw some poly on it or I wouldn’t have finished it before her birthday. As it was… and she got a chuckle of this… but she figured out I made her something because after I wrapped it and gave it to her at the last possible moment she could smell the polyurethane that hadn’t completely cured yet – lol.
