This is a jewelry box made for my wife as a wedding anniversary present.

Solid purpleheart sides, mitred, with inserted wenge mitre keys.

Purpleheart tray with hand-cut heart shaped dovetails.

Lid, base and interior tray supports; veneered ripple sycamore with wenge edgings.

Purple leather base linings in tray and removable base with purpleheart/wenge knob.

Finished with oil and wax, satin finish.

Made over many months during lunch breaks to my own design.


Design or Plan used: My own design
