This project started with a buddy of mine that owns a wood pallet business. He asked me if I could use some Oak that he had over stocked. The Oak was green and I had to stack it for over a year to get it aged. I made a mistake and stacked it in my basement, when I should have stacked it in my attic!
At any-rate, my wife asked me to build her a Jewelry Armoire to match our Oak bedroom furniture. I found plans for this Armoire in one of my wood working magazines and started milling this Oak. I had to scrap most of this free lumber I got get rid of the knots. I salvaged enough to build this project but I encountered one problem, you guessed it: a couple of the drawers stick a bit in the hot summer months. There are two side compartments for necklaces etc..
My wife has accepted this small convenience, considering the price we paid for the lumber. This was a challenging but fun project to build.
My lovely wife is since gotten into a new hobby of jewelery making, so I’m sure I will be getting a crack at building more jewelery storage!

looks great. As for the sticky drawers: you can just send it to me in Wyoming. (no more pesky humidity to swell the wood.) AND then I wouldn’t have to build one for my wife. so you see, it will all work out perfectly. :-)

That looks like it will hold a lot of jewelry. I really like the straight lins of the drawers.

My wife is requesting a jewelry armoire, could you please do me a favor and delete it from your projects before she sees it?
I really like the design, the lines are clean with a touch of elegance.

I make jewelry boxes but not armoire types…you will need woodworking tools…table saw , router. clamps and glue…if you dont have a jointer and planer you will have to buy your wood already planed…cut your pieces to size glue up the carcass and make the drawers and door..http://www.theaccentfurniture.com

I am looking for plans on the web but cant find any. I have all the tools to do the work, but I have never done actual furniture. That’s why i’m looking for some plans. Any ideas on where to find some plans?http://www.globalreplica.com/

That’s a beautiful piece you have there, do you use a planer to get the wood in that condition?

It looks like an antique and it is very well made. I just imagine the hardwork you and your friend put in this cabinet.
