3 down, 3 to go

Sweet and beautiful jewelry boxes.
Beautiful selection of wood and nice joinery.
The note in the hidden panel is priceless.
Well done.

I really like these – everything about them is quality workmanship and of course the reason is priceless

I built a similar one of these quite a while ago and now have requests to make at least 2 more. Unfortunately I lost the set of plans that I used for the original. Can you tell me where you got the plans that you used? By the way you did a really nice job on yours.

-- Retired and lovin it

Nice project. I really like the idea of a secret compartment with the special note.

Thanks to all. Inspiration from the Wood Whisperer and some others who have posted here. A great community for sure.

Great work with great motivation. I wouldnt have thought to pair jatoba and walnut, looks pretty good in these boxes however.

These look great. They will remember you for these.
Of course the most costly part of them for you starts now – having to fill them ; ))

I really like the design. The pulls, the feet, the grain on the front. All great. The secret panel and drawer, awesome.
