Jewelery/trinket boxes for Xmas presents
31 boxes all different sizes [used scrap offcuts], all felt lined [not flocking], deeper boxes have a removable drawer. All opposite sides are matching grains. 2 Panels sliced from each piece of timber to start. On some boxes, plain panels were used but each box has atleast 2’good grain’ panels to show off.
If you have not used Camphor laurel before, it is a very hard and somewhat unforgiving wood. Very tough on blades but the grain pattern can be so varied and spectacular or can look so plain.
All pieces came from a wood heap and rescued before being burnt.

Hill Bill, I just started to make them early and worked on them when I could. I still have to think of something for the nephews, but atleast there are not as many to make for.
