= 7.00 over 95 days | LOML jewelry box in progress
I have planned this for a while, had the wood for several weeks, and finally with this long weekend decided to get started. My inspiration came from one of Doug Stowe's books, although it really wasn't something that you could call a plan, just overall dimentions. I still have to make the doors that will swing out from the sides to hang necklaces on, and the drawers. The top and side doors will get a quilted maple veneered panels with walnut trim. The drawers will be cut out one single curly maple board to hopefully keep the grain flow. I had hoped to finish the construction this long weekend, but I ran into some problems (design elements) that slowed me down some. But this is what I've gotten done so far, and another day to go.  
Thanks for looking, hope everyone's New Year has started out good.
Dave

Man Dave, that is looking really good so far.  Have you veneered your panels up yet? If so, how did they turn out? I can't wait to see more photos as you continue to make progress.

No, I will veneer the panels tomorrow. I needed to determine the overall size of the panels to maximize the figure out of the veneer. The sheets I got have some wild crotch figure along with basic quilting. I am nervous about trying the new technique, along with cutting the rabbets that they will sit in. Figure maple is a PITA to work with without chip-out and/or burning. I utilized my scrapers heavily to remove burn marks  Don't worry, you know me, I will post as much as I can on my progress.
Thanks for your comments, Dave('05 recipient of the DaveO award)

I wonder if scoring the edge of your rabbets before you cut them would help to minimize the tear out? I have never tried that before but maybe it would work the same way like scoring plywood to avoid tear out and chipping. Just a thought.

That's a great idea. But how would you go about it. I am gonna use a rabbetting bit with a bearing, and then adjust my panels to fit. I guess I could score the outline with a chisel or marking knife, but I don't know if that would go deep enough. Dave

I don't think the score would have to be very deep to minimize the tear out. You might even try taking a real light pass with your router before you start going with heavier cuts.

Really nice Dave! That's some pretty wood and a nice design. Let us know how the panel veneering goes. If you want to score prior to cutting, an easy way is to use the knicker on a #78, #45 or similar plane. Just set up the plane and slide it along to cut/score along the cut line. Works fine. | |

Dave, may be too late to help but two things I would suggest to help on the chip out would be to use a down cut planer dado bit in the router table. I find that they do a fine job of rabbeting troublesome woods. I also like the fact that the fence can be adjusted in micro increments to fine tune the depth of the rabbet. I also will apply masking tape to the surface of the wood in the area to be rabbeted. Sometimes the tape will help with chip out as well.
Looks great. I am familiar with that Doug Stowe design and I love it. So will SWMBO! How will you hang the side doors? I have used several different kinds of hinges in that application but I like the Brusso concealed hinges best. Hey, they will only drive up the cost of the project a little, and it's for the wife, eh? Excellent work. | |

Just wondering where you'd get the wood for the case? I love the looks of it. I can't wait to see the finished product
