The top of the jewelry box is also made of curly (quilted?) maple. Out of the planer, there was a fair amount of tear out, but my high angle smoother made short work of it. I also got the lower section internals in.

Six board chest tear out .. Bleck!
I’m still milling my boards for my six board chest and dealing with some tear out.

I applied some shellac to stiffen the fibers and applied a high angle smoother. The board is smooth to the touch.

Another shot .. whad ya think?
