Description

The five-day Wood Whisperer Jewelry Box class is the perfect project for the upcoming holiday season. Looking to give that special someone a gift they’ll treasure forever? This could be the project for you.

Jewelry Box

The Wood Whisperer Jewelry Box offers challenges unique to the intermediate woodworker. From the through-dovetailed frames that make up the sides of the box to the sliding dovetail construction that constitutes the skeleton to the curved drawer fronts, this project hones your skills like few others.

And the best part,  you can include a hidden compartment.

 

Some of the skills learned in the Jewelry Box class are:

• How to incorporate secret compartments into your woodworking projects
• How to break down a complex project into easy-to-accomplish smaller steps
• How to make through and sliding dovetails
• Matching figure in wood to provide the best possible look for your project
