    Default Another Jewlery Box

    I know, your tired of it, but I gotta learn this camera....

    Here's a box from another set of plans. I used birds eye maple and wenge'. I loved the curved legs, top edging and skirt along the bottom. The inside again was lined with tan suede. I made two and gave one away i a raffle with the money going to a local Ronald McDonald Hospital.

    Never get tired of seeing nice work. Good cause too. Well done.

    I like the contrast in the 2 timbers particularly. BE maple and Wenge is used a lot on Woodworks. Makes me jealous that you guys can get such nice timber so readily.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Have to agree with the jealousy thing. BE maple is lovely.

    That is very nice. Great wood combo. Nice lines I like the drawers. That is one thing I want to try some more. One thing I would like to know are the dimensions. And kudos to you for your donation.

    Looking forward to more.
