This box, the largest of my traditional, chest-style jewelry boxes,
features spectacularly figured veneered panels and a top of quilted
bubinga, a dense lustrous African wood often referred to as African
rosewood. Legs and stretchers of solid bubinga --the stretchers' tenons
are mortised into the legs,and contain the panels. This construction
allows for precision-fit drawers, and a solidity matching the finest
custom made furniture. The top of the box features beveled inlays
of ebony and a matching quilted bubinga sawn from a shop built block.
Innovative necklace storage and earring storage systems make the inside
of the box as notable as the outside, a combination of artistry and
engineering that only someone who spends far too much time thinking
about jewelry boxes could have produced.
Open
view showing innovative necklace storage and earring storage systems, and the
precision dovetailed drawers. This joinery, usually found only in the finest custom
furniture, makes for a jewelry box that will last for generations. The necklace
box has a spring hinged, padded top section that places gentle tension on necklaces,
preventing the inevitable entanglement common to inexpensive necklace "pouches"
used by other box makers.
