This is the most recent item to come out of my woodworking shop. It's a red oak heart shaped jewelry box that I made for someone who is special to me who just so happened to mention that she loves hearts. I took the idea and ran with it. I found a nice project, if I remember correctly, via one of my woodworking forums that I frequent and modified the project to my own liking. I actually downsized it a bit and then went to work and what you see is what I ended up with. I actually screwed up a first attempt at the project and had to scrap it. The barrel hinges gave me fits and there is definitely a learning curve on how to locate them on a project such as this. The actual project needed to have a jig or two made to complete it, but in actual time, it wasn't all that lengthy in fabrication once the jigs were made. The velvet lining is a pillow type cushion that I hand sewed to fit the interior of the box. I hope she likes it!
