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.

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. Bottom of Chest and all trays are lined with real velvet.

color and consist of Pau Amarillo, Paduak. Holly, Cocobolo, Walnut and
Mahogany.

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. 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

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. 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
