    Christmas Project Finished

    Here are links for a jewelry armoire I made for my daughter for Christmas. It is mahogany finished in shellac. First shot at making cabriole legs. I'm pleased with the results.

    Holy Moly! That is gorgeous, George! Beautiful...I'm in awe. Did you have a plan or your own design? And how'd you make those legs?

    Very, very nice. After just completing a much smaller jewelry box, I'm sure you must have put many hours of love into that piece. I'm sure she'll treasure it forever.

    How did you make the foam ring holder? I struggled with making some and wasn't happy how it turned out. Any secrets?
