    Default Jewellery Box Reward

    As reward for finishing uni, I offered to make a jewellery box for my daughter.
    The brief was simple,it had to be tall enough to hang her necklaces and have enough area on top to take to smaller jewellery box I had made for her 21st.

    The timbers used were Iron bark for the carcass-with claret ash/walnut veneer pinstripes.
    Iron bark and claret ash for the drawers-claret ash/walnut veneer pinstripes.
    Hairy Oak for the hanger fronts/gidgee knobs.
    At the rear of each drawer and hanger slide is a `secret`space.


    The recipient is very pleased with the finished product.

    And so she should be. Nice design and great work.

    Most unusual to have the dovetails showing at the front of the drawers.

    Excellent Job you and she must be thrilled with it.

    Hi guys
    Thanks for the comments.

    Re;`the dovetails showing`, we go to all the trouble to make them and then cover them up?They also help to `define`the drawers.

    As far as her `masters`,if it happens(which I doubt-for a while) then that will be her choice.

    The size of the box is 230 mm D
    345 mm H
    320 mm W
    The finish is `hard shellac`.

    Cheers

    It is so good Gidgee that your daughter will be rolling up to the Uni to enrol in a post-graduate degree.
