>Here is a nice Document Box constructed of Mahogany with Teak and Tamo Veneers. The carcass of the box is hand dovetailed and features a pleasant hand cut molding on the base. The base and top Mahogany frame is Dyed Jet Black. The finish is a sprayed laquer rubbed out to a semi-gloss finish and has a wax top coat. All of the veneer was hammer veneered, and the piece is still lacking a lid stop. I just haven't been able to find one that looks nice. May have to go to Brusso again. The inside dimensions are 18" x 10".

This entire piece was constructed with hand tools and my band saw with the exception of the plywood substrate.

Comments and Criticism is welcome.

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

>I had to come back and see it again. Lucky for some you said document box and not jewelery box. Seeing that is one reason I will not be entering the contest unless there is a prize for the most hacked.
