Kaleo’s Jewelry Box

Viewer Project - By Kaleo Kala from Fredericksburg, VA
Added on May 22, 2012

This box was the first real (nice) project I had ever really done. The wood I chose was Australian Jarrah-gum tree burl-mytle veneer.

The box is joined with hand cut mitered dovetails. The top is a book matched burl veneer and inside the top is a quarter matched myrtle veneer. The inside has a tray and is lined with suede. Inlaid Pau shell is used for the escutcheon.

That is very, very nice. I come from Western Austral, which is the only place in the world where Jarrah comes from. It is a great timber for furniture. Your use of it in this box, beautiful!
Well done,
Aaron.
