A Jewelry Box for My Granddaughter for Christmas
DSCN4559.JPGDSCN4555.jpgDSCN4557.jpgDSCN4558.jpg
For a while now, I have wanted to try a new technique of blending two different kinds of wood together in a curved joint rather than a straight line. This year I completed a jewelry box project as a Christmas gift for my Granddaughter. I used cherry and poplar for wood choices and the finished product came out pretty nice. The box was sanded down to 400 grit and finished with four coats of water-based polycrylic. I was quite happy with the results and so was my Granddaughter.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Thanks for looking,
Bob

A truly beautiful result. If you do another similar one in the future, would you mind posting work in progress pics so I can see how you achieved such an outstanding piece.
Thanks for sharing and you must be very proud.
Cheers

Thanks for the comments
Thanks to all for the comments on the wavy jewelry box. No promises but in a few months I may do another and if so, I will try to take some inprocess pictures to show how it is done. It is really quite easy to do.
