Custom Jewelry Chest

Page 2  

This custom “One of a Kind” Jewelry Chest is made from Cocobolo. The top has been “Book-matched. Cocobolo is in the “Rosewood” family of which there are over two hundred species. Cocobolo is one of the most expensive woods in the world and getting harder to find, not because it’s on any endangered list, but because most of the premium logs are going to veneer mills to be processed into veneer (plywood) and the solid stock is getting harder to find. The joiner work is “Double box joints” which is very strong and very attractive. The inlay in center of Chest is American Cherry. A unique "One-of-a-Kind" Jewelry Chest signed and dated. Each Jewelry Chest gets 6 to 8 coats of polyurethane oil finish that is "Hand Rubbed" to give them the best finish possible. There is plenty of room in this Jewelry Chest. Full top tray and below this tray, there are two full trays and storage below them. Removable dividers make arranging compartment easy to hold small to large pieces of jewelry.

This custom “One of a Kind” Jewelry Chest is made from Quilted Maple, this wood has the most pronounced “Rays” that I have seen in a long time. Quilted Maple is getting very hard to find due to the fact that most logs go to the veneer mill and finding quality Quilted Maple lumber is getting harder and harder to find and is now one of the most expensive domestic woods there is, right up there with Birdseye Maple. This Chest was build so the grain "wraps" around the Chest and matches on four corners, matching three is easy, but matching four takes some woodworking skill. The interior is lined with American Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), which is among one of our most desirable hardwoods. Walnut has long been the favorite of furniture makers for building high-end furniture. There is something about Walnut that speaks quality and most people know and love this wood. The top is banded with MACASSAR EBONY (Diospyros celebica), which is one of a group of ebonies from the East Indies, ranging from Sri Lanka to Indonesia. This close- grained, heavy hardwood machines and turns well, but tends to dull tools and is difficult to glue. Used for turned and carved items, inlays, and contemporary furniture. Ebony is so expensive; they sell it by the pound. The inlays in the ends are Cardinal Wood and American Holly. A unique "One-of-a-Kind" Jewelry Chest signed and dated. Each Jewelry Chest gets 6 to 8 coats of polyurethane oil finish that is "Hand Rubbed" between coats to give them the best finish possible. There is plenty of room in this Jewelry Chest. The top lift-out tray has one small tray inside it. Below this tray, there are two more trays. Removable dividers make arranging compartment easy to hold small to large pieces of jewelry. Bottom of Chest and all trays are lined with real suede.

Size is approx. 8 x 10 x 5.  item ted_623  Cost 569.00

This custom “One of a Kind” Jewelry Chest is made Canary. This wood comes from Brazil. This wood has streaks of Red, Yellow and Black running thru it. Canary is a wonderful wood to work with and finishes very well. This wood is getting harder and harder to find, most lumber is made into veneer. This Chest was build so the grain "wraps" around the Chest and matches on four corners, matching three is easy, but matching four takes some woodworking skill. This is a beautiful wood and takes an excellent finish. The top is banded with Cardinal wood, a wood from Mexico, is naturally Red in color, and is very dense. Is much more dense that Paduak. This wood is sometimes called “Bloodwood”. This wood has a sweet smell when machining, and is a great wood to “turn” on the lathe. The inlays in the ends are Ebony and American Holly. All my Jewelry Chest get 6 to 8 coats of polyurethane oil finish that is "Hand Rubbed" to give them the best finish possible. There is plenty of room in this Jewelry Chest.

This custom “One of a Kind” Jewelry Chest is made from Zebrawood, (Zebrano - Microberlinia brazzavillensis) this coarse, heavy African hardwood is named for its zebra-stripe appearance when quarter- sawn. Very attractive, but difficult to work because of alternating hard and soft grain. Used for furniture, veneer, game boards, small boxes and decorative items. Zebrano has the most fantastic grain pattern of any wood that I work with. Most people know and will identify this wood very quickly. It’s easy to see why they call it “Zebra wood” once you see it.
