Jewelry Box Update
Yes, I haven’t been posting much .. cuz my hard drive crashed and my computer is being repaired. But I snagged a computer and wanted to post an update on the Jewelry Box that I’m making for my niece’s high school graduation welcome to college present. Next step, saw the top off (probably on the table saw and finished up with a hand saw) and install hinges. BTW, box is made of quarter sawn walnut with a cherry panel top.
