Ring Box

I made my daughter a jewelry box and later made this "Ring Box" as an accessory. 

I made it out of Satin Walnut. Many refer to this wood as Sweet Gum. The grain is unbelievable!

It has hand cut dovetails all around on all four corners....



Brass hinges....



The actual ring posts are on an insert that is removable. This makes for any custom one that can replace it. 

Rings will not fall off of posts when the lid is closed.



You will note the alignment posts. This ensures the lid will always line up and the sides stay flush.


Thanks for looking!

Feel free to comment, ask questions and "thumbs up 👍" if you like it!

Cheers!

Yeah Pottz... they were a wee bit big. But really it's not too bad. My daughter loves it.

Nicely done. That grain IS beautiful!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Great wood! Subtle grain and shading, nice to have for smaller boxes.
Having the removable tray is handy feature as well as the alignment pins to provide a bit of friction.

I'm also in the hinge camp, this would look great with a wood hinge, but if your kid is happy, you are successful!
hey if she likes it thats all that matters rick !

Thanks Ron! Think I'll leave the rings for her hubby and kids to get! Lol
Satim Maple or Sweet Gum, regardless what you call it, it's beautiful.
Nice work on the box, and I don't think the hinges are too big. Some boxes this size have continuous hinges, what's the diff?

Thanks Oldtool. I appreciate your comments.
To see the actual box is a thing of beauty!! That's all that matters. 
Guess a chunky box needs chunky hinges! Surprised the wood is Satin maple, I thought it was pine at first sight.
