Found these in storage, just in time for my middle son to ask if he could give it to his girlfriend for her birthday… with two pieces of jewelry in it.
Cherry with a couple of hastily applied coats of minwax paste wax on it for a fiinish. 
He wanted to use this one because of the Heart shaped key which keeps the lid secure.
That was the simpler one. I still have this one:
Also cherry, both were cut from salvaged firewood way back when…
step one
step two
Step three
Final step. There’s not a lot of room in there, but it does the job.

Thanks guys, They’re fun, and back when I was starting out a couple of years ago I made a bunch of them.
And the legend of Lemarchand is more than safe, trust me.

Those are some pretty slick boxes! Very nicely done. Did you use a coping saw to do those groove cuts? It looks like too tight of a cut for a bandsaw. Great craftsmanship, in any event!
God Bless,
