Hi All

This is my latest commission – it is made from black walnut with sycamore inlays. The lid is made from bandsawn veneers with the grain running front to back. The flap is held in place in the close position with 2 spring catches and the box is lined in mulberry suede. Finished with several coats of blonde shellac followed by wax. Fitted with nickel hardware.

Cheers

Ian

I have been looking for a long time for perfect jewelry box to make as a 16th birthday gift for my oldest grandaughter. When I saw your box yesterday,it was the one I have been looking for. It's beautiful. At first as I looked at it, it looked pretty straight forward. However the closer I look the more technical it becomes. Is there a chance of getting any schematics?
