taking jewelry to a whole new level of luxurious
because I was asked to make a tutorial, and I needed to make a tutorial for my photography class, I made one for my Apple jewelry box
(link here: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/apple-jewelry-box )
it's my first tut, I hope it makes sense!

You Will Need
-
Step 1get your wood. for my apple box, I used a scrap block that was 4"x6"x10"
alternative is to glue several pieces together**be sure to put glue EVERYWHERE (OVERFLOWING is better than having your project break in the middle of cutting) and CLAMP IT at least 24 hours before cutting**
-
Step 2draw your desired shape out
mark where you want your drawers, be sure not to make the borders too thin or the project will collapse on you
-
Step 3(optional if you have another piece of wood big enough to cover your design)
cut off roughly 1/2" of the wood*sorry for poor lighting
-
Step 4cut as close as possible to your lines, it's better to have to sand a little more off than have an awkward hole in the entire project
-
Step 5cut the drawers out, it's better to have smaller drawers than a weak border
-
Step 6I guess I forgot to take a picture here, but you basically cut the front and back off the drawers, then cut the sides, and lastly the bottom
-
Step 7piece, glue and clamp overnight
-
Step 8while you're waiting, glue the entrance you made when cutting for the shelves (there's no way around it, a jigsaw's blade isn't long enough, and a bandsaw can't make internal holes)
-
Step 9
clamp that baby up
-
Step 10when the shelves have dried, sand the misfits off
don't sand the fronts (if you don't want to) or you'll have massive holes between the border and drawers
-
Step 11sand small details
-
Step 12glue the piece of wood from step 3 (as you can see I lost mine so I ended up using a scrap piece of wood)
clamp
-
Step 13when dry, cut your shape out
-
Step 14sand down to size
-
Step 15cut/sand (I made mine from scrap pieces), glue, and clamp handles on
-
Step 16sand for a nice, smooth finish
-
Step 17paint or stain your box
-
Step 18spray with a clear shellac coating
-
Step 19super cute!
