This design was an adaptation of Doug Stowe’s cherry jewelry chest. The overall dimensions are smaller, the joinery is keyed miters, and the bottom of the box and the tray are solid walnut, with the bottom being bookmatched. The pull is a semi-precious stone and the center panel is raised. The trim band is rosewood. The finish is Formby’s high gloss tung oil. I made thirteen more for gifts of cherry, maple, butternut and paduak with a various species of keys, some contrasting and some not.

Outstanding craftsmanship! Do you just make these for fun, or do you have a website to buy these?
Excellent work. What sort of hinge system are you using or is that not even hinged?
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I haven't been on the site for a long time.
Ther are no hinges. The top rests in a recess at the back of the sides. It lifts slightly, then locates in place.
RickyR Thank you. I just make them for fun mostly. In August, this jewelry box won first place in small furniture at the Minnesota State Fair. Fun!
