Project Information
I made 5 different jewelry boxes using domestic local wood with exotic wood accents. Each box is made differently from the next.
Box 1
Material used:
Maple, purple heart, blue acrylic, blue and purple felt interior
Size:
4 1/8×7 x 11 inches
Finish:
5 coats of Danish Oil
Box 2
Material used:
Cherry, padauk, and red felt interior
Size:
4 3/4×7 x 11 inches
Finish:
5 coats of Danish Oil
Box 3
Material used:
Maple, bolivian rosewood, and brown felt interior
Size:

5 coats of Danish Oil
Box 4
Material used:
"Pin Hole Knot" Red Oak, bocote, zebra wood, and brown felt interior
Size:
4 3/4×7 x 11 inches
Finish:
5 coats of Danish Oil
Box 5
Material used:
"Pin Hole Knot" Red Oak, yellow heart, bubinga, and red and yellow felt interior
Size:

I had lots of fun making these and lots of fun working with the exotic wood, especially the smells. The yellow heart smelled like candles and the bubinga smelled like hot chocolate when you cut or sand them.
Which one is your favorite??
My personal favorite is the cherry box (box 2).
