Very Nice jewelry box, I like the diffent color (maple) splines that you incorporated into the corners. Bet your daughter Loves it. Keep the projects coming

Very nice. I like the grain match on the front and top too. Good job.

This is really a nice box. It’s got a very soft-warm feel to it.

Thanks for the kind words.
Gary, what techniques do you use to align your miter gauge to the blade, or perhaps a better way to phrase this is how do you insure your blade is parallel to the miter slots in your saw top?

-- Hailey, ID

Excellent work! I like the understated yet elegant lines.

I’m trying to figure out the construction of the top. Is it a panel set into a mitered frame?

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Charlie,
That’s exactly right. The cherry lid has a rabbet that holds the maple mitered frame which is rabbeted to hold the cherry panel. I added another cherry panel on the underside to stabilize the whole thing.

Nice work Hailey. That is a box with class. It not only looks great but it will be very functional too. One thing for sure, you can’t go wrong using tips from GaryK. Thanks for the post.

-- Make things with wood.

Oh, meant to ask what the measurements are Hailey?

-- Make things with wood.

That is a fine looking box. A box is more than just a six sided object, and each and every box is different from any other. The best part of making a box are the memories that come along with it.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Nice box – I really like the wood tones.

This is a gorgeous box that I am sure was well received by your daughter. Maple and cherry are my personal favorite wood combinations.

I really like the construction on this box.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Very nice box Hailey. I’m trying to learn box making myself and it’s no small task. Precision plays a big part and that’s something I’m really having to work on.

Beautiful box that will be treasured for generations.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

That’s a very nice box. I bet your daughter thinks it’s fantastic.

That’s a very nice box. What method did you use to round the corners – a router?

-- Bob

Very nice box. The good thing about them is, they are so easy to move from room to room. The bad thing is they get moved to another room.

-- so much wood, so little time. Bradford.

Very nice! She should just love it.
