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. A unique "One-of-a-Kind" Jewelry Chest signed and dated.

This custom-made “One of a Kind” Jewelry Chest is made from “Quilted” Bubinga, (Guibourtia demeusii) this strong, heavy West African hardwood is rose to red in color with dark streak running throughout it and often found in striped to mottled figure. This Quilted Bubinga is the first that I have ever had in my shop and is also the first that I have ever seen. This is the most unusual and beautiful grain pattern that I have ever seen. My wood broker says it’s his first also; it’s just too bad that I don’t have very much. This is one of the “rarest” woods that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Bubinga is naturally reddish in color and twice the density of Paduak, also a red colored wood, but about the same density as Cardinal Wood, which is also red in color. These three woods are sometimes mistaken for each other. Bubinga is very durable and a excellent choice for custom cabinetry, high-end furniture and specialty boxes. This is one of the “difficult woods” to work with, you need very sharp tools and sanding has to be perfect or sanding marks will show. Not an easy wood to work with, but the end results are well worth it. The top is made from Brazilian Rosewood which has been “book-matched”. The two light colored streaks in the top are sap wood. Brazilian Rosewood is in the “rosewood” family of which there are about 250 species, with Brazilian Rosewood being one of the most valuable, just under Kingwood and Ebony. Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Nigra) comes from Brazil. At present, the export and import of wood is banned per CITES II treaty. To export one requires permission from the Department of Fisheries. The wood weighs 48 to 52 lbs./cb.ft, but has more color variation than East Indian Rosewood. It is known for its interlaced grain pattern. When machining the wood has a unique smell, which is very sweet. This wood has a wonderful tone wood and is at present extremely high priced. Brazilian Rosewood is used for guitar fingerboards, backs and sides, laminate tops, bridge blanks, turning squares and fine furniture. This unique "One-of-a-Kind" Jewelry Chest is signed and dated. There is a full lift-out tray with storage below, with adjustable dividers

This custom “One of a Kind” Jewelry Chest is made from Paduak (Pterocarpus soyauxii) also called Vermillion; this decorative hardwood originates in Africa and the Andaman Islands, with one major variety native to Burma. This wood is naturally red to orange in color with dark streaks running thru it. Works well, is used for furniture, flooring and architectural accents and “one of a kind” boxes of all kinds. Who says there are no red trees! 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 MACASSAR EBONY (Diospyros celebica) 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, wall paneling, inlays, and contemporary furniture. This wood is so expensive, that they sell it by the pound. The “white” inlays are 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 Chest and all trays are lined with real suede.
Size approx. 8 x 10 x 5 inches.

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 four corners are inlayed 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.
