    Newest Box

    This was built for my wife for her birthday. (She Loves It, especially considering I bought her an antique necklace to go with it.

    The box is made from Macassar Ebony, Shedua, and Spalted Maple. Hinges are Brusso "Stay Open" solid brass, box and tray are lined with black leather.

    I had a ball making it, hope you enjoy looking at it.

    The box is a design by Douglas and Kim Jones, although I heavily modified it.

        Another beautiful jewelry box, Bruce. You always make me want to try to do better on my joinery techniques.
        I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

          Beautiful work. I don't think the photograph does it justice.

                    It looks as good as a store bought one....or at least that's what the stores wish!

                    Nice job!

                          All I can say is that you keep outdoing yourself. Your creativity and attention to detail shows. Exemplary craftsmanship.

                              Very nice looking box.. you did a tight job on those miters BTW. I really like the way you designed and executed the inside also.

                              Well done...
