Fanning Jewelry Box

 This is jewelry box that I copied from a sketch I made at a showplace  out of state. I made all the leaves on my duplicator once I developed the shape for the inside and outside. It has a top, bottom and back screwed together and 7 leaves that fan out from a 3/8 steel tube captured between the top and bottom. I did not have a picture of it being cut on the duplicator but I have one of a sign being made on it so you get the idea.
 I used 1/4" thick templates for the leaves and just clamped a 1" thick pieces of oak to the table and cut them out. I finished  cut the inside of each leaf and just cut the outside down about 3/8" and then used a flush cut router bit to follow and finish cut the outside contour.
 
 I do not sell any of these because it is not my design. Any I make are gifts. 

This has been brought over from the other site as this is my new project database.

Cheers, Jim
