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.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Clay, I got the wood at the Raleigh Woodcraft (hanging head in slight shame  ). Curly maple is so hard to plane and joint, starting off with almost S3S lumber made everything easier. It came as 13/16" and I was able to clean up the planner marks with the drum sander. Luckly I found some pretty straight stock to work with. Wait until you see the quilted maple veneer I got, it's sweet and layed up flat as the day is long.
I didn't get as far as I hoped tonight, so no good pics to show. Hand chopping the corners on rabbets without buggering the edges take more time than I thought 
Dave

So, did you sand it down to 3/4", or is it thicker? | |

Sanded down to 3/4", so it was all uniform, just a slight 1/32" per side.

Nice one Dave - is that a lift up lid on the top?

Dave, how did you join your sides to the base? Looking at the photo I can't tell.

DL, I haven't yet, but I will just screw through the botton with some #8 x 1 1/2" wood screws. They will be the only metal in the project. Dave

OK, thanks. I look forward seeing more photos as you progress through the project. I think I found the box you were talking about in Doug Stowe's book that gave you the inspiration for this one. Great job.
