Jewellery Box/Cabinet

Hey all,

I am wanting to build a jewellery box for my lovely wife. I am looking for some of the most beautiful ones you've seen (I'm not saying my skill set is there but I have time and patience and I would like to tackle a difficult build).

I am not so much looking for a simple box with a lift out lid. I am looking more for a design with an opening top, a few drawers and perhaps a place to store a few necklaces.

If anyone can help, I know the LJ crew will be able to help provide me with some wonderful ideas/inspiration/pictures!

Cheers,

Adam

These types of pieces are fun.
I used to make a particular box that was mitered on all 4 corners and it has a hinged lid. I make a rip off of the front side piece forming a drawer front. I then install a false bottom ABOVE that rip making a lower drawer that when closed gives the seamless appearance that the box is just mitred together. Its only a thought though. I would take a look at Douglas Stowe's boxes for idea. He does beautiful designs with simple construction.

I like a plan in a FW book called Great Designs from FW Furniture. There is a "spice box" plan inside that would be a little challenging. You can customize the look to suit your needs. I bought the book at Barnes and Noble for around 24.00
