Small Cherry Box with Swarovski Crystal

I made this simple box just to try out a cover design. The box is approximately 1 3/4 in diameter and 1 3/4 tall. The crystal is a green Swarovski crystal.
I'm not sure why the second image rotated when I posted the image. Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix the rotation.

Coffee table wedding present

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I designed and built this as a present for my daughter's wedding. Made out of quartersawn African mahogany with curly maple veneered lower shelf. The marquetry inlay is made out of curly anigre and mahogany. The mitered legs are reinforced with biscuits and decorative curly maple splines. She loved it :-)

Pair of Jewelry Boxes

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Pair of Jewelry Boxes created from Wood whisperer design.
The first is from cherry and curly maple, with cocobolo handles.
Second is all claro walnut. However the drawer fronts and side panels are from a claro board that was 100% sap wood – hence the lighter color. Handles from curly maple (leftover from the other box).
On the curly map, I first used a transtint maple dye, followed by a light sanding – that really made the curl pop. Both boxes were finished with 2 coats of osmo polyx (may be my favorite finish to use these days because of ease of application and the wonderful, natural finish it provides) plus a final rubout with a coat of Black Bison paste wax using #0000 steel wool.
Thanks for lookingFYI: Few other shots I took:
