Popular Post Blaughn Posted January 6, 2024 Popular Post Report Posted January 6, 2024 (edited) A jewelry box for my only granddaughter. This project called for woodworking techniques I have never done before. From the hand cut blind dove tails to controlling chip-out on the curly maple - it has challenged (and frustrated) me beyond measure. The drawers are divided and flocked in black. The bottom drawer has a ring storage area. It is FINALLY done and I will be giving it to her at her birthday party today. It has a hidden drawer that is accessed by a sliding panel on the back. I am ready to get back to scrolling now. Edited January 6, 2024 by Blaughn Wichman, wombatie, Liz Weir and 24 others 17 1 9 Quote

rjweb Posted January 6, 2024 Report Posted January 6, 2024 Bruce that is beautiful excellent craftsmanship, is it your design or did you follow a plan, RJ Blaughn and danny 2 Quote
Blaughn Posted January 7, 2024 Author Report Posted January 7, 2024 It is designed by Marc Spagnuolo AKA the Wood Whisperer who sells the plans and has a very helpful array of videos that walk you through the whole project in great detail. https://thewoodwhispererguild.com I had never undertaken anything as ambitious as this and it pushed me to the edge of my abilities. Truth be told - i am glad it is done. The outcome was never assured until it was. I presented it to my 12 year old granddaughter at her birthday party tonight and the smiles and hugs made it all worthwhile. meflick, danny and Fab4 3 Quote

rdatelle Posted January 16, 2024 Report Posted January 16, 2024 What an awesome job you did on that. I wouldn't know where to start making something like that. You should be very proud on accomplishing a piece like that. It looks a lot bigger sitting on her lap. Blaughn 1 Quote
