This all cherry jewelry box is one of my most recent creations.
The cherry was provided by the customer and it came from an old barn that is on their family property.
Outside dimensions are 12×8x6.
The bottom of the box and the tray bottoms are lined with red adhesive velvet from Rockler.
I finished it with 7 coats of can lacquer and rubbed each coat and the final coat out with 0000 steel wool.

Very symmetrical. Nearly perfect lines. Awesome work as usual.

I agree with Monte. The sculpting is just right and it’s a new look too. Great work Greg!

Another great box. How do you get your hinges to line up so perfectly?

I love the original design. I would never have thought to cpmbine symetrical carving with box building.

Thanks everyone…! I was satisfied with the results of this box and I hope the customer is equally as happy when he comes to pick it up.
Each new box is always fun when they are differrent and one of a kind. It helps keep the work enjoyable.
Monte…it is definitly a lot of trial and error to get the symmetrical lines correct…my free-form sculpting is easier to create.
Stefang…thanks…a new design is always refreshing and helps to breathe new ideas into older designs also..
grizzman… I did not burn the wood. That is just shadows. My photography always leaves a lot to be desired and is a work in progress.
Andy…Congratulations for winning the wearable wood contest…! You were up against a group of fine wood jewelry makers but no one came up with a unique idea such as yours.
newTim…the hinges line up easily because of good measuring tools and having a hinge mortising template.
GeneR…thanks…There are many box builders here on Lumberjocks that carve and sculpt boxes. It just happens to be a niche’ that I really enjoy..
Andy… thanks…the box is smiling and I hope its new owner smiles back when he picks it up.
