Hi Friends,
I introduced myself a couple of weeks ago and some of you kindly asked for some pics of some furniture. So far I’ve made about 10 pieces of big furniture. It typically takes me a year or two per piece because I really get into the details, textures, and finishes. Attached are some views of a combination dresser/jewelry box made for LOML in the early 90’s. The jewelry box on top is 48” wide by 30” deep and consists of over 200 pieces of oak (I’ve since gotten into more interesting wood types). The jewelry box alone has 5 large drawers, 3 hidden drawers, 2 large compartments (with euro-hinged lids), 4 hidden compartments, and a southwest desert landscape theme. I know you’re thinking this must have been expensive because of the cost of all the jewelry it may have prompted. Not the case however, she makes her own jewelry…
