53 Wedding Anniversary Gift for my Mom

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


53 Wedding Anniversary Gift for my MomSo my mom had been hinting around for quite a while that she wanted a ring box for all her rings. She had asked my brother that does Leather work for one too. So we got together and collaborated on a box together for her. We have a large family. The two Humming Birds represent our parents and the 13 flowers represent all the kids. One set of twins so there are two identical flowers. the leather design is my brothers own. I came up with the box. He helped me install all the leather. We both love how it turned out. Our Mother was super excited about the box. Made out of Aromatic Cedar with yellow Alaskan Cedar dividers in the top. I have not done many dovetails. These were the first that I incorporated into one of my boxes. The box measures 9” deep x 15” wide x 7 1/2” tall. The box sits down into the bottom frame about a 16th of an inch. That was fun to figure out how to do and keep all the same angles. The panel door and the drawer fronts and the base are all cut on a 15 degree angle. Really enjoyed this projects. After I finished this one I started to feel bad about not having done anything for my dad so I got busy and built him a Keepsake box out of Walnut. I will post pics of his as well.
