This wall-mounted jewelry chest has NO BOX. There is a central spine supporting four floors of 32 hinged trays, of heights 2" to 1", decreasing at 1/16" intervals. There are two 29" long 1/4" diameter axles that parallel the central spine and support each tray via a pair of ballbearings.


Design or Plan used: My own design - Allan Sieradski

I gave the jewelry case an oil finish, with a little Cabernet stain incorporated into the mix. I tried to be a bit sculptural with the design, as my main therapy these days is stone sculpture (which you will find on my website www.sieradskistudios.com). I wouldn't have gone with the design save for the fact that a friend gifted my 80 5/8"x1/4" ball-bearings.

Your design work here is outstanding ...... the 'drawer' front pulls integrated into the piece are very creative.

I as well build boxes .... and can imagine the hours amongst the sawdust to bring this piece to life.

I wish you would tell us what timber you used and how you finished her ..... can't tell from here.

Very well done I say

Best
