Jewelry boxes

[RabidAlien]

Final glue-up of a couple of Steve Good jewelry boxes.  The rose is original to the pattern, the dragon was requested by my daughter.    Stained Minwax Provincial and Minwax Gray.

Wow, I really like the swing wing design of the trays.  Very nicely done!

I've been kinda eyeballing some band-saw boxes, but thought about maybe making a yin-yang one that pivoted out like this.  I hadn't really put too much thought into the mechanics of it, but when I saw this on Steve Good's site, I thought I'd give it a try to see how difficult it would be (not too bad!).  Now I just need to sit down and design a round version....maybe add some dragons on the lid, or a Tree of Life split along the "s" curve of the yin-yang.

Steve has a ying/yang round box.  The lid is what swings open.  He calls it yin and yang.
