NOTE FROM THE PROJECT DESIGNER AND MAKER
This jewelry cabinet design is nature-inspired, and I took this opportunity to try some new construction ideas. The design includes one pullout lower drawer, two swing-out drawers and a live-edge walnut and epoxy river top. The box is made from a combination of walnut and quarter sawn white oak. Exposed walnut splines add an accent and strengthen the mitered corners. Both the lower case containing the drawer and the drawer itself feature dovetail joinery, and the drawer has walnut dividers that provide a nice surprise as the drawer opens. Finally, the brass hardware contribute bright highlights. I hope you find your jewelry box to be as special as I do.

LOWER DRAWER
The lower drawer features half-blind dovetail corners front and back. The drawer front gets a large chamfer to act as a grab point when extending the drawer outward. The dividers make this drawer perfect for jewelry. The three dividers break the drawer into four compartments. Each divider gets a subtle roundover its top edge. The long divider (G) is mortised into the drawer sides (D) and the short dividers (H) are mortised into the long divider with through tenons that are chamfered. The opposite end of the short dividers are mortised into the drawer back (E). Lastly, two 3/8” round magnets are glued into the bottom edge of the drawer back. These magnets align with the magnets used in the lower case bottom. The bottom has a rabbet on all four sides with tongues that fit into grooves in the sides.

Construction for the top section is similar to the swinging boxes. The front corners receive the same mitered joints with splines. Brass screws are used to secure the sides to the back.. The top section bottom (T) contains a sliding dovetail. This dovetail accepts the top of the center divider. The top section also includes the lock and lid support as well as one of the most prominent features of this project: the river top.
