She wanted another white jewelry box to match the one I had already made. I have got the making of the joint box sides and steaming of the curved top down. Making and fitting the draws takes more time. I scroll the front of the draws from the front of the box before I glue it together. I use lap joints to assemble them. She did her great painting of hydrangeas. On to the next project when it gets a little cooler in the shop.

The pattern is by Russ Beard. It has 576 internal cut. I used 15 blades. It took approx. 24 hours cutting time over approx 10 - 12 week. I had 3 weeks off for Covid, did a couple of items for customers and had various appointment also in that 10 - 12 weeks. I used 1.5mm bamboo x 2. I think I was a quarter of the way up from the bottom when I regretted ever starting it but now I'm glad that I did it. My main reason for cutting this is for my Grandson who did his ancestry DNA and found that he had 3% Viking in him which he gets from me. He was over the moon to discover this so I thought it appropriate to cut this for him and one for me. Marg

Just finished this. 11 x 14 x 1/8 Baltic Birch ply Pattern and cutting by me.

My new 3d geometric project - Dodecahedron. It was fun to make and interesting to assemble. Such projects requre accurate cuts for fitting elements, but you always can use a glue if your cut is not perfect. Video of making Pattern

Fancy Horse, Steve Good pattern. 3/4 "blue" pine tongue and groove wood ( although the pine is mostly brown, cut with FD Polar blades; # 2/0 for the interior cuts and #1 for the outside. 4 3/4" tall by 6 " long. I reduced the size of the pattern to fit the piece of wood, I had to use the smaller blades due to the reduction.

Such beautiful work. You and your wife make a wonderful team. Jerry

Agree with all, a great work.

They are all beautiful boxes. Well built and beautifully painted.

That's another beautiful box, your wife is a real artist, did you make the one that is far right sitting on the floor, RJ

A fancy horse indeed. The reduced size makes it amazing.

That is sure a nice tribute.

That is sure beautiful. That is quite a collection of jewelry boxes.

Dan it is 16.5" x 11.7". All done with flat blades. Marg

AND, on a decoration for a fake Christmas tree, which we have, you could put pine scent on it and everyone would think you had a real tree!

I have seen them where you use scented oil on some felt. They had a clip on the back so they would clamp on the air vents in your car for air freshner.

Excellent cutting, RJ

Excellent design and cutting, RJ

Great, great job and beautiful work!

Great cutting and for a great reason. I'll have to put that on my to-do list. @wombatie, what size is it?

Hi Marg: Congratulations, you have made my list of "THAT'S (your) INSANE" It's not a bad thing - Well done, that looks awesome Fab4

Very fine cutting.

Thanks for the pattern. My family lives and breathes baseball and these will be cute projects for my grandsons. May have done before they come back from next weeks road trip. One is going to Cooperstown and the other to Baltimore. I have taken your pattern and put into Inkscape so if any one else want to modify the name and number the pattern is below. Note. I put the name in the bat and am not sure it will be scrollable but you can move and put initials only. Both my grandsons are "CL" hence the change. COOP.svg
