Honestly, you do such nice work and that wood is so beautiful, it would be a shame not to make a side table.

I agree with you. I need to build a jewelry box for a friend too.

Lol, Iām an architect and I just love beautiful wood furniture!
I just bought myself a jewellery box that Iām not even crazy about. It cost $250, way overpriced.

My head did explode a little bit, I must admit. Iād been searching for a really nice jewellery box for like a year now and I had to settle for something that was mediocre.

Lol, thanks! Most of it is just slowing down and being careful and patient. There are no shortcuts.
Hereās my wifeās jewelry box.
The secret to a good box is a perfect fit between the lid and the rest of the carcase.

Yeah, nobody does it anymore, such a shame.
Well @raustin has already said everything I would have 
and I agree with her 
Whatever your wife doesnāt like Iām sure Raustin or I can find good homes for it!
You really really need to stay away from Wood Working Shows as you might get talked into exhibiting your work! You, my friend, are a Master Craftsman in my book

I agree with @SmoknGranny. You are a Master Woodworker. Absolutely beautiful builds. Both of them. The jewelry box is so fine. I bet it feels great in the hands and is more amazing than the photos really show
Yes I think a side table to match would be super.

@BIGE @raustin @SmoknGranny @mulegal Thank you for the kind words. The jewelry box is left over wood from the dining room table I built 27 years ago.
I started and built up a humidor company that made nothing but solid wood exotic humidors. Goncalo Alves, Padauk, Bubinga, Imbuya, Chechen, Cardinal wood, Canary wood etc. all blocked and polished to a high gloss. At one time I was puking out 200 per month. We have them in the U.K. and Europe, UAE, Israel, Indonesia, Mexico, Hong Kong, Japan etc. I just do enough to stay fairly current.

Wow. Humidors like for cigars? You ARE a master woodworkerā¦a real pro!
A lifetime of experience is evident behind things like your table and box.
With wood, Iām a hackā¦ it splits and cracks and splinters or joints are funky, some edges are sharp, some are sanded round, finishes are uneven. You are a real Craftsman.
