Need advice on building jewelry box !?
Q.I'm looking to build a jewelry box for my wife. It's going to be a fairly elaborate thing about 11 inches high with doors and drawers. I've seen similar things in the department stores, but I want to build it myself. I'm thinking of making it out of 1/4 and 1/2" cherry (have to see if I can get it at the sawmill first) Is cherry easy to work with and priced reasonably or should I use another wood and stain it? Not sure how I'm going to do the joinery. I've seen a couple books on building wooden boxes, but at the time I was looking for jewelry box plans and should have been checking out the joinery techniques. Anybody built anything similar to this. Any advice would be appreciated.
A.-I have build a few jewelry boxes. The job is not much different than other woodwork. You probably need finer detail because you are working with smaller pieces. The 1/4" wood sounds better than thicker material. Do not mistake the small size in
