    Jewelry Box

    I mostly do woodturning now but my wife needed a jewelry box so got away from the lathe for a bit and made this. I bought the wood years ago and it's been sitting in the workshop ever since. I think it's Dogwood but I really don't remember. The 3rd photo shows the removable insert in the top and the inside of one of the drawers. I lined it with some fine black kid leather that I have. I came into 5 hides of this leather years ago (each about 3-4 feet wide and about 5 feet long). It comes in handy for this type of thing. Thanks for looking....

    Very nice, and the tree motif divider really makes a statement. I'm going to steal that idea one day !

    I agree with all others. What a great box and design!
    Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

    That's a keeper! And, it's a testimonial to what can be done with left over project pieces and scraps. I like that the drawer pulls are made from the same wood rather than metal, stone, etc. It helps the eye focus on the overall piece and the pattern in the grain.

    Very nice looking Jewelry Box, Barry. I am curious what was gained from having the top insert. It appears the same thickness as the drawers so no room for a hidden compartment.
    I am not saying go kill all the stupid people......
    I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

    Thanks Mike and Trevor.....Trevor....Good question!!!!...LOL....not really much to be gained...just thought it might be nice to be able to take the top out and go sit somewhere and sort the jewelry out or something....

    Wonderful box Barry. The "organic" cures on the tree divider and the elliptical mirror really compliment each other and the material is quite beautiful.
