Jewelry Box

[munzieb]

Normally I would have put this into the "Other Woodwork" but I did do some scrolling on this project. I I did the cutout for the 2 draws in the front and the funiture feet also.

My wife said she had enough black Jewelry boxes and wanted to try and paint a pattern on white. The frame is 1/2" poplar. I've made enough of these that it went pretty quick. I used my I-Box jig to cut the sides. I did cut out the draw dividing piece in case one of the draws got stuck. Steam bended the top with 1/8" BBPW and used Titebond III to glue it down to the top. I always build a second joint box section for the top. Mark out the radius on the ends and cut the correct angle on the front and back on the scroll saw, then assemble and glue the pieces. I used this to clamp (many clamps)  to connect it all together. Lots of spray white paint and my wife used her one stroke painting technique  on the top and inside of top. Back to regular scrolling for my next project.

My, that is awesome, Bernd.  Not only in construction, but the painting is awesome.

What a beautiful project. I think I will pack up some clothing and head out to South Carolina for some wood and painting lessons so I can make some beautiful items like you just finished.
