The latching mechanism at the top of the cabinet requires
the left hand door to be closed first. Closing the right-hand door
then depresses a latch that holds the left door shut, allowing the
key controlled lock to secure the cabinets contents from unwelcome
perusal. Of course the doors stay shut (via magnetic catches) without
the key. The ebony escutcheon is inlaid into the door, and also sits
proud of the door's surface by a beveled 1/32". The doors exterior
feature an inlaid ebony bead that highlight the bookmatched panels.
The side veneers are cut from the same board, as seen below.
Bubinga is a wood with some spectacularly figured variation.
This cabinet features veneered panels in the doors and sides made
from highly figured rotary-cut veneer that yields a quilted figure,
with fantastic chatoyance and fine grain detail. Very straight grain
solid bubinga frames these panels, and straight grain veneer lines
the interior.
Cabinet is 24" high, 16" wide, and 12" deep.

The panels, 11'"deep by 13" tall, allow the ideal
storage of jewelry items that are best hung : necklaces, earrings,
and bracelets. This allows the most accessible and tangle-free
placement of pieces not ideally suited for traditional jewelry
boxes. The panels are suspended on a double glide system that
allows them to be pulled entirely forward of the cabinet enclosure,
and then pivoted, providing perfect visual and manual access
to both sides of each panel. The panels are bubinga veneered
birch multi-ply panels with solid bubinga edge banding on both
sides. The rods are solid ebony dowels, sloped up for necklace
retention. They're plenty long for hanging multiple Pieces on
each hanger. One panel houses ten rows of earring holders, (five
on each side of the panel) each containing space for 7-14 pairs
of earrings. A total of 72 ebony rods, with two rows on each
side of one panel, and a single row on the two others, provide
hanging room for necklaces and bracelets. The necklace and bracelet
panels also feature a padded well at their bottoms, so extra-long
pieces can be hung and their excess length can be securely held.
Here are open shots of the three drawers.The drawers
are 14" wide and 10 " deep, and are graduated in depth
from 1 1/2' to 2". The top drawer has two long compartments,
either or both of which can be fitted with ring pads, and 16
small cubbies. The middle drawer has two long compartments which
can be fitted with ring pads, and four 4" x 5" compartments,
and the bottom drawer is separate into two large areas for bulkier
items. I can add additional divisions per your request to any
of the drawers.
I
use this interesting interlocking rabbet on the drawers for these cabinets. The
joint is a variant of the sliding dovetail, appropriate to the scale of these
drawers. It's cut to very close tolerances, a job for the dial caliper measuring
in 1000's of an inch rather than simply 64th's.
