The start of a jewlery box. Main wood is Lypticus good to work with a lot like Mhogany but a little more rare cut list all done here.
More goods to go with.

Close up of datos,tendons, and mortises.

Solid Olive Cross being set into Walnut.

Top is all done that is Cherry in sets.

Some bockets joints just a little cheating here and there most of the box is good solid morise joints.

Cherry insets here also.

Here is the final product all drawers ride on Popular guides all soid Popular guts and turned out really nice (heavy) but very nice. Weight is the only thing I need to figure out to cut out, this is ok considering the nature of the project.

Cherry insets turned out nice it was a bit of a challenge to mask it all off when I applied stain to the Lypticus (I bought the Lypticus mail order ended up with a mix of white to almost a dark pink wood color that I did not care for so had to find a way to cover that sin a bit. No more mail order lumber!!!


This the the back.

The final product of the cross and Walnut set inside of the bottom of the lid and red felt (not a easy thing to fit inside of the box either) but turned out nice with much persistance
