great design and execution… way to think outside the box!

Very nice, I like your design.

Simple, elegant and wonderfully artful. Sketch it up as a set of plans and post. It ought to become popular.

I really like that design and added it to my favorites as a future project. As Microsuffer stated, simple elegance. Thanks for sharing

Hi Jarrod;

This is a great design!

The workmanship looks to be very well done.

If I were to build a jewelry box for my wife, I would make it much smaller. lol

i love this, sort of like an idea i have for the living room wall, this helps me imagine it more tangibly. how would you hang something this large on the wall? any suggestions?

-- Brady Gaster, Indian Trail NC

great job. that’s as much a piece of art as a functional “box”.

I was just down in Eagle’s Nest a few weeks ago, what a beautiful place, I love going there when I can. Waking up looking out over the lake is very inspiring, I’d imagine, for woodworkers.

Jarrod,

This is gorgeous! The form of this is very unique and I just love the walnut. Your wife is going to be very happy. Beautiful work man.

Thanks for all the comments; I really appreciate the encouragement.

Brady – I just made a french cleat for the back, and a small block that will be mounted to the wall inside/behind the panel on the right to help keep it from tipping. It’s not that large, and it’s pretty light. It’s 24”h x 27” w.

Thanks again, JM

That looks cool! I like the french cleat idea.

Very nice,great work

Brian – it’s a mixture of 1/3 BLO, 1/3 varnish (I think this one was Valspar semi-gloss, though I’m constantly trying different ones), and 1/3 mineral spirits. Also, there is a top-coat recipe that I sometimes use from Andy Rae; it is 1 part BLO, 1/2 part quick-drying varnish, and 1/2 part paste wood filler:

nice and modern. I like!

-- Mateo

What a great idea. Bold, modern, functional, beautiful, creative. It’s got it all.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Very Nice. I also like the “Out of the Box” thinking.

-- If you have gone through a whole day without learning something new, you wasted it.

Beautifully done. I love the simplicity and elegance of this. Very aesthetically appealing and practical.
