Jewelry Box Finished Pics!!

[cpowell]

I have completed the jewelry box. The box is padauk with lacewood drawer fronts and rear panel, wenge legs and pulls. A bunch of coats of Deft aerosol gloss lacquer.

I will make dividers for a few more drawers but LOML has demanded I move it to its home!

My photography skills are not very good but I attempted to show the gloss finish, pretty grain and the figure on the lacewood, as well as a shot in its final resting place atop our cherry Shaker dresser. I believe it was as proportionally more time consuming to complete this small box than the 7 drawer dresser! I have a great deal of respect for the box makers now.

Nice - love the contrasting wood choices...

Beautiful job on the project and I agree with your decision to hold off on the new toy until you gain some practice. Spraying takes a little time and adjusting to get right and cardboard boxes are far more forgiving than beautiful figured woods.

It looks great Chuck!

You obviously have too much time on your hands. I suggest having another child.

It is a beautiful box Chuck. The bar was been raised another notch. The picture with the reflection in the mirror is great. Most people don't give much thought to the back, but that picture shows why you should.

I ripped to width, then resawed to 3/16, then planed to exactly the thickness of my WWII kerf (so the joint areas would glue tightly). Dividers are removeable but fit very snug. Lacquer finish.

Fortunately the padauk seems to be pretty stable so I didn't have a problem with cupping, bending after resawing. I've done the same with purpleheart with no problems.
