Thread: Made a jewellry box for the wife.

Hi, I made a similar box for myself a while ago to house my straight razor collection of mine and the misses said she also wanted one like it to hold her jewellry. So here it is, it is made from a log of Southern Silky Oak I had, so after slabbing it, resawing the slabs and thicknessing it, then letting it dry, it finally became time to do it.

The box has three black velvet lined drawers with Aluminium handles and a piece of granite cut to size and edge bevelled for the top, the granite is rebated into the top and glued in with epoxy.
The top drawer is for rings, it has a rubber base glued to the bottom of the trays and with 4 ply slats glued over the top of the rubber and the velvet glued over the top of them and also pushed in between the slats, so when the rings get pushed into the gap between the slats the rubber gets streched a little and holds the rings in place.
The middle tray has a similar rubber base but with 6 larger gaps for the chains to rest in and the lower tray has two layers of rubber with the top one having round recesses for the bangles to sit in, the velvet is glued down in the holes as well.

Box is coated with Cabots interior/exterior clear gloss polyurethane.

Cheers
