Nice jewelry boxes. Is the wood you are uncertain about the dark wood lid with the light patch? I am going to look at the wood data base.

Thank you.
Yes, that’s the one. It smelled like cinnamon when cut and I had an allergic reaction after working with it for a few days, if that helps.

Nicely done work. Good looking boxes that he girls will cherish.

Beautifully done.

Beautiful work! This is my next project to try. do the side doors have soft closing hinges, how do you keep them closed?

They are just brass hinges. I set magnets in the door and body of the box.
I would also recommend putting something across the bottom of the doors to keep the longer necklaces inside. I didn’t do that and it’s an issue.
Good luck. It was a really fun project. I used the opportunity to learn a lot of difficult things.

beautiful boxes – all three
