Jewelry Box

Philip Morse Design/Woodworking Elkins, New Hampshire

I made these boxes in production runs of twelve for the League shops in New Hampshire. I mortised and tenoned the top lids and hand-dovetailed the boxes and the drawers. This particular box is made from curly oak, but most were in walnut, zebra wood, and quilted maple. The inserts for the drawers are made from foam and velvet. Because I used a tung oil finish, they had to be sanded to perfection. The design is classically simple, but devilish to do. Each one, even in a production run, takes about 12 hours to complete. I am considering whether to make more of them and would if I could get orders in advance.

Estimated cost to produce a similar item:
$500-$1500
