Attaching decorative trim to jewelry box

Why not? I’m building several boxes right now and that’s how I plan to attach them.

Other option is a rabbet.

I use screws for 4 reasons: Allow for wood movement Make a part removable Decorative heads for detail Fast, sloppy assembly w “white wood” or 2×4s
It doesn’t seem like a jewelry box fits any of those. But as Robert says, “Why not?”

I like to pre-finish a lot of parts that otherwise would be difficult to apply finish and do any between coat sanding, etc.

To then attach the part, I either have to have masked off the areas where glue was to be applied or just use screws.

Thanks everyone .

I very very rarely use any screws in my boxes. Dowels to peg stuff together; and sometimes hidden glue-blocks(for base to box), if I want added peace of mind.
