Large Amish Quilt
Jewelry Box is 9"x9"x5" with a removable
tray. $265.00 including shipping.
This classic jewelry box , which I've been
making since 1985, features an end grain panel lid made from solid:
bloodwood, holly, wenge, Brazilian satinwood, purpleheart,Brazilian
tulipwood, leopardwood, red oak, zebrawood, and honey locust. The
opening tab, and lid stay are ebony. It has a lift out divided tray
with ring storage, and removable bottom dividers. The top is solid
wood, so you see the pattern when you open the box. The mitres are
reinforced with butterfly splines. I am the first boxmaker in the
US to use this joint on jewelry boxes available to the public, and
I've never seen another jewelry box that uses it as a "stopped"
groove ---so it doesn't show on the top, but rather as a pleasant
surprise when the box is open. This requires backing the bit out of
the cut on its exact path of entry, a difficult procedure. Available
in walnut, or cherry. Click on image to see it open, detail, and in
walnut.
