Madrone Jewelry Box
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Desmond Nault
For his first project at the College of the Redwoods, Nault made this madrone jewelry box on a jatoba stand. The two biggest challenges, he said, were cutting the compound-angled dovetails for the tapered carcase and making the curved lid. Nault curved the lid without coopering it by using an extremely cupped piece of 8/4 madrone, removing a little bit of material once a week and letting the wood settle before working it again. The finish is shellac.
