The design for this jewelry box was inspired by a design by Ryan Shervill.  The main body is constructed out of maple while the legs and frame for the top are constructed out of bubinga.  The curved shapes of the top were solely cut with a table saw.  The concave curve was cut using the method outlined in FWW #168 while the convex curve was cut using a method and calculation procedure I developed.  The curved shapes of the legs were cut with a jig saw.


Design or Plan used: Based on a Design by Ryan Shervill

Thanks,
