My granddaughter texted me a few weeks ago and asked if I could make her a jewelry box. She wanted it all open inside. Here's the result. Birdseye maple, hard maple and Purple Heart.

Very nice as usual. Have to ask how you did the Yin Yang? Scrollsaw?? Another question, what did you do to the insert portion of the lid. I see the grain running opposite direction from top to bottom of that insert. If you sandwiched 2 pieces can I ask why? Thanks That is popular jewelry today.
If anyone interested. Yin Yang meaning.

The inlay is all done with a small router. The top frame had a slot cut in the middle for a piece of craft plywood to slide into, giving the top part, with the inlay to be glued to. The main box was re-saved down to about 5/8 and the thin pieces from doing that is what I used inside the top. I could have laid them either way but I thought it looked best the way I did it. I definitely like it well enough to do it this way again. My next one I'm going to give double dovetail splines a shot.
