I am making a very nice teak jewelry boxfor my niece roughly 13″ wide x 9″ deep x 6″ high and I plan to have 2 drawers. In looking for drawer slides I only see accuride 2632 metal slides. Am I better using these or doing wooden slides? If I do wooden slides how do I keep them from coming all the way out?

Wooden slides will work fine for this application , in fact a metal slide may detract from your work and design .
You can make a kicker or strip of wood directly over the drawer side that will not allow it to tip , you could rig up a catch that stops the drawer from exiting .

As Oldusty said.. But, my thought would be a sliding dovetail 'A bit wider that a tight fit' Just me..
OR just a cigar box with a Diamond in it for her!

Thanks to both of you for your ideas. I think she would like the diamond part as well.
