A Jewellery Box

[LGS]

Hi all,

This is a jewellery box I made from Jarrah and Queensland Maple. I have to say that the pics really don't do the Maple justice.

It is 300 x 250 x x110mm and is finished with Wattyl Scandinavian oil, friction sealed to 4000g, then, after 3 days of drying, cut with EEE cream and finally coated with UBeaut Traditional Wax.

Regards,

Rob

It looks great. LGS. The pics came up well, so it must really look good to the naked eye. Is this a gift for someone? I must say that Jewellery boxes for the wife are a bit like the shed - they are never big enough.

Hi Crunchie,

It was a commission.

Hi LGS,

Very nice box and enjoyed the WIP. Good info me , I've only done bandsaw boxes but I have a lot of timber for 'regular' boxes waiting for me.

I live the Queensland Maple, I made a very similair box for a 30th birthday present out of the same combination and you are correct it came up a treat!

Not a critisism just an observation (cause it is what it is! a lovley box! ) why didn't you mitre the corners for the lid? Did the customer request that or just your poetic license?

Great job!

Just poetic licence. Could have gone the Mitre option, but it would have added cost. More work involved...
Thanks for the kind comments.
