Jewelery Chest"s" for Christmas

I showed the pictures to my wife. She asked who they were for. I said your neighbor and your wife. She says. 'Why didn't he make me one too"?

Tell her that I don't recall her placing an order. ;~) On line these go for over $2K each.

This is the one that inspired me.

Thank you.

Here is where I got over all sizes and my inspiration.

There is a second post with the doors closed. The buld of the wood is hard Maple and I used Tiger Maple veneer on the drawer fronts. The front door panels, darler trim inside the chest and trim on the outer bottom moulding is Spalted Live Oak.

OK. ;~)

I like them(it). Can't see the second one. I was looking for shapes/ sizes for a pair for my kids. I will steal some of your ideas.

Now post some pics with doors closed and others drawers opened. Then tell us what the wood is and why you chose Lee Valley brass.

Later there will be a test so stay sharp.

Holy bat guano Leon, keep those things for yourself, and put some really nice tools or sumpthin' in them. Or, you could probably sell them as fancy tool chests for big bucks.

JOAT I do things I don't know how to do, so that I might learn how to do them.

Your wife and neighbor hereby sucketh! That's some magnificent woodworking, and the spalted oak veneer gives a beautiful, and very unique, touch to each piece.

Well done, Leon!!

A little too small for tools. LOL If you take another look I posted a reply with a picture of a tool box that I built last Spring.

A very warm and sincere Thank you, Swingman.

Yabbut ... from the looks of it, that's not a toolbox, it's a big "His" jewelery box. ;)

I only wish I could access A.B.P.W to see this beautiful work.

Yeah, I went back and saw the tool box. Way too nice for my shop. But I'd keep the jewelery box for those small 'spensive tools, and if I didn't have any, I'd buy some.

If you would like I could e-mail you the 10 pictures and having High Speed internet would be good.

Same here, but there's a slower workaround. If you go here,

psst. Could you include me too please?

Is that a copy of everything posted to ABPW? I hope so!

Thanks Andy

I think so. There's another site too that posts ABPW, which is at
