This beautiful box was custom built for a treasured collection of bracelets and necklaces.

The Eucalyptus wood selected for this box has a spectacular grain pattern that flows around all four sides. The Black Walnut adds a dramatic flair to this composition.

The drawer sides and dividers in the interior are made from solid Cherry wood.

Notice how the interior of the top is finished as beautifully as the exterior. That takes extra time and material. But, the result is well worth it.

No stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the woods, enhanced by the oil and wax.
