I had a request for some of my woodworking, so here goes.
Some years ago, I made a Jewelry Box to give away at our Christmas family gathering. All the girls put their names in a hat, but only one was the lucky winner, so a tradition was born.
I changed them  a bit year to year, these are made from Quilted and Birdseye Maple, Australian Lacewood, and Macassar  Ebony.
About fourteen boxes later all the girls are happy, and  my work is done.

  1. I have told you before but I'll say again, "these are beautiful!". When, and if, my daughter ever gets engaged to be married, may I commission your woodworking skills to build her a jewelry box?

  6. Gorgeous work! I have a piece here my fiance bought for me from our trip last summer to visit Ottawa at National Art Gallery. It has birds eye maple on the top. Reminds me very much of yours.

  7. I had an uncle who made jewelry boxes for the ladies in the family. Although not as elaborate as yours they were still considered a prize and often some pouted until they got theirs.
