Here is my recently completed jewelry box. I made it for a friend of mine to help with medical bills from their daughters tethered spinal cord.Link to the story (http://www.lemarssentinel.com/story/1188356.html)

Cherry box, with purpleheart lid & accents. Red oak inner box w/purpleheart.
Thanks to everybody who helped me along the way...ring box, finishing issues. I love the way it turned out.

Wayne, that is a beautiful box. I like how you mixed all the woods together. Nice mitered key work as well and a pleasing interior finish. Thanks for the story link as well.

Thanks for posting Matt and the story as well! Nice looking spline joints. They really add to your box, in my opinion anyways. Thanks for posting and continued success with your projects.

Great job. I love the splines on the corners. And the ring box turned out well. Hope it sells for a lot to help your friend.

Really nice. I really like the proportions of the interior box and how it fits with the outside box. You must be even more satisfied with the way that it turned out knowing you're helping someone out as well.
