A jewelry box inspired by the letter writing box from the Greene and Greene Freeman Ford residence.  The materials are teak, ebony, alder, snake skin wood, and leather.  The entire box is made from a single large board which helps to unify the color and grain.  The door latch is hand made utilizing (2) ball point pen springs.  The leather straps under the box protect both the bottom of the box and the surface it's set on.  The handles @ the box ends are bronze plated nickel chrome.  I cut the first one from 1/4" T. plate aluminum which was then sculpted" to it's final shape with files.  This was used to make the mold from which the bronze castings were made.  The drawers are all velvet lined.  The box is 18"L. x 8 3/4"W. x 8"T.
