This one has been a long time in coming! I have finally reached a point where I can post something close to a finished project. There are still some sliding / removable trays in various states of completion that need to make it out of the shop and into the box, but you get the idea. I have been dabbling in woodworking for years but my projects since becoming a homeowner have all been deck builds, trimwork and built in cabinets... all paint grade stuff to match the house. I decided to dive back into woodworking joinery, finishing, etc and figured the best way to earn her forgiveness for hours on end spent in the basement was to make something for her! This is the finished (very close) product. The coolest part of this to me is that the walnut I used was from a tree from our family farm in Indiana, cut and milled by my grandfather probably 40 years ago. I've had a stack of it in the basement waiting for the right project. My wife is thrilled to have the jewelry box AND to have the stack of wood that I've stored for years finally going to good use!
