Hi Box Makers,
Although I am a very recent registered user to this forum, I have been reading your posts for about a year now. I have seen many beautiful works of art and would like to comment on them in the future so I signed up. I've been working in wood for 50+ years now as a hobby but only recently found an interest in making boxes that are as much art as functional. Up to now, my specialty was cabinet furniture making.
I am adding some pictures of my first jewelry box that was made for my daughter-in-law for last Christmas. She was quite pleased with it and I offer it for your viewing.
I hope to participate in this forum in the future and will try to post pictures as I complete projects.

Thanks
Thanks Ruffly, the wood (timber) is called Canary wood. Found it in a Woodcraft store while in Florida about a year and a half ago and had to have for my box making supply.

Welcome to the forum. Your years of experience are obvious. This is a beautiful box and the choice of timbers goi well together. Look forward to more posts.

You're from central Illinois? Do you mind me asking where? I'm just East of St. Louis. I find it interesting that a pair of guys from Illinois would end up on an Australian forum.

Avengers63,
About 30 miles north of Peoria in a small town called Henry. I searched the web for boxmaking articles and ran across this forum and have been reading it ever since.

I'm in California and have been on this forum for a couple years. It's a great place. Lots of encouragment and little to no criticism.
