This was last years entry. It’s curly Maple, Wenge’ and ebony for the top lid handle.

It’s curved on every side and around the lid inlays it slopes downward towards the lid medallion. The hinges were hand cut on the back because of the curve angle. This one was a bit tricky making the curves on all saides as it’s width is 12 inches and the drawer front is curved and metered to fit the box. Sort of compound curves like SWMBO’d.

A beautiful mix of wood. This has to be the first time that I’ve seen a description of a jewlery box like this: Sort of compound curves like SWMBO’d. LOL.

Bill, stop this right now!

With perfect boxes like this, us ordinary box makers just want to go somewhere and hide.

I take the hint :-) (where’s those smilie buttons when you need’em). Boxmaking is becoming addictive. This was about 18 months ago when i made it. I’ve learned quite a few things since then, good and bad, especially the measure twice rule.

I think my wife wishes they would move WoodCraft a few hundred miles away. I just sank a 100 big ones in two itty bitty bits. (1/4 inch matching bead and cove).

Bill, was just shuffling the site and saw this that somehow snuck by me when you posted it. Beautiful work as always. Love the style and of course, the craftsmanship is incredible. Glad I caught this and thanks for posting. Looking forward to your next one.

Bill – Beautiful box and oustanding craftsmanship!

My wife would love to have Rockler, Woodcraft and Woodcrafters move to another state! We have all three in the Portland area. Just bought some new steamed cherry at Woodcrafters this afternoon.

Please keep these projects coming – very inspirational.

Very Nice!! And for the Stores be thankful they are close, I travel over a 100 miles to get to WoodSmith in Des Moines, Rockler in MN is a 3-1/2 hr drive. Bits are cheap compaared to gas these days.

Just saw this Bill,exceptional indeed!
How in the world did you shape the sides? That would be one large shaper bit!
Beautiful design and your choice of woods really is perfect for this piece.
Thanks for sharing,Andy.
