While modestly sized, this meticulously handcrafted jewelry box has ample space for a small collection of jewelry and personal memorabilia.

This box is made from Black Walnut with legs of Bird's Eye Maple. Accents on the top are provided by bands of Roasted Maple and Bird's Eye Maple, separated and defined by black veneer.

Except for black veneer, no stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the finished woods.
