Jewelry Box

As usual, the only woods I can confidently identify in this piece are walnut and cherry. The top and bottom are made from an interesting, unidentified species—beautiful, dense, and surprisingly heavy.

The box measures 4.25 inches tall, 5.25 inches deep, and 8.25 inches long. It’s assembled with box joints, though this time I varied the spacing and left them slightly proud.

Inside are two removable trays with leather-lined bottoms, each fitted with figured black walnut handles. A subtle rebate keeps the trays centered while maintaining an even margin all around.

The top section offers divided storage beneath a magnetically secured door. The divider is also held in place with magnets, making it fully removable.

The piece is finished with blonde shellac, followed by a topcoat of spray lacquer.
