Jewelry Box - Curly Maple and Wenge'

Just completed this commission piece for a client who had made a previous purchase. The box measures 14"w x 9"d x 6 1/2" h and is constructed from soft curly maple, also known as ambrosia maple, and wenge' (wen-gay). The drawer liners are craft foam and worked out surprisingly well. I wanted something different than the traditional felt.














Shown with the lid and drawers closed, note the shape of the front and rear legs.




















The curve of the drawer pulls match the curve of the lid handle giving the viewer the impression that there are 3 drawers.

    What a beautiful and elegant piece! The combination of curly maple and wenge creates such a stunning contrast, and the attention to detail in the curves of the drawer pulls and legs really adds to the design’s uniqueness. It’s impressive how you’ve incorporated craft foam for the drawer liners – it’s always great to see innovative solutions. This jewelry box is truly a work of art!
