Jewelry armoire for my wifes birthday.
Drawer fronts and lid front and rear panels are black walnut from a couple of severely weathered roughsawn boards a neighbor gave me. The case carcass, legs, aprons and lid center panel is cedar, given to me several years ago by a friend who built guitars widow. They were roughsawn 1”x 12” BEAUTIFUL clear boards.
Four drawers, a slideout panel for necklaces and storage under the top lid.
Legs are 2 glued up 1×2s fluted on the router table with a 1/4” cove bit and painted with a walnut paint.
Carcass is dado joinery solid ? wood.
Design is a floral dxf from cnc zone with a lot of embelishment removed.
Thanks for looking.

Grand slam. This is really nice. That mystery wood looks like cedar to me….whatever it is, its beautiful.
I also like the stoarge under the lid option. Is the lid hinged or does it just lift off? Either way, its a nice feature.
Again, a very nice piece.

The lid is hinged, drawers are lined with thin, light purple foam. Upper compartment is unlined to show off the wood.

You did an awesome job on that! You should get at least 2 years worth of “get out of jail free” cards for that one. My best guess for the mystery wood is cypress but what do I know?
