Made a jewelry box for a friends’s daughter. Sapele and quilted Maple with brass hardware. Finished with Sample 73 hard wax oil. Surprising amount of work for something so small. Few minor issues, but generally happy with the result. Inserts were purchased.

63" wide, flush inset doors and drawers w/ rounded profile. Finished in 4 coats of Target EM6000. Took ~48 hours of work during the holidays.

Thought a few people would find this interesting. Lacebark elm is a common urban tree here in New Orleans. We had a hurricane (Ida) in 2021 that took out one of the elms on our block, and I saved a big piece of the trunk with the idea of making tables out of it.
