Jewelry Box – Oak and Pine

by jasonwall In: Carpentry

This project started out as a small box that was going to have a flip top and boy did it change into something completely different. I didn’t realize how many necklaces my wife had, besides the fact that most of the times when you put a bunch of necklaces in a pile the tend to get tangled up. So she needed plenty of of hanging space for them all. She also had many dangle-ly type earrings so she needed space to hang those in pairs. Taking all that into consideration she also liked saving the boxes she got the jewelry in.Jewelry Box - Oak and Pine 2 by Wall Woodworks Co

I glued up a panel and cut out the shape for what is now the top of the case. That’s about the time I realized that the shape wasn’t really going to work right as a flip top and to compound things, it wouldn’t meet my wife’s needs. So i think i waited about a month before I changed the design in my head. (Probably one of my biggest hangups or problem areas is design aspects before I start, having an actual plan.) So I scrapped the small box idea and decided to make it taller. before I knew it the top case was about 26 inches tall.

To make the side doors I cut 42 individual strips at 5/8 thick to make a cylinder. After the 2 cylinders were glued up and sanded I then split them in half, each cylinder made one door. The doors pivot on piano hinges that are behind the case. There are hooks on the doors for necklaces and a panel with a bunch of holes in it on the case to handle earrings. Each side has the same setup.

The base and legs were an after thought I had originally wanted to just put it on a dresser but a stand seemed more appropriate. Over all this probably took me about 3 months too complete but the time that I spent on it was mostly after work, a few hours here and maybe a Saturday or Sunday once in a while. It stands just over 5 foot tall x 16 inches deep x 24 inches wide.

Its made completely from scrap oak hard wood flooring, minus the drawer sides and bottoms, those are pine. (Which I wouldn’t suggest doing unless you have a lot of time on your hands to mill scrap flooring down, very tedious process. Most of it was bent, warped, and cracked.)
