This three drawer jewelry box has been completed and can be mailed in the next few days so that it arrives as a treasured Christmas present. The box is made of birdseye maple, the top is composed of spalted maple, and the drawer pulls are black palm. The box measures 14 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 9 inches tall. The drawers are divided into small compartments that can be removed if you wish. They are lined with black velvet. I estimate that US postal shipping in the continental US will be approximately $25. If required, overnight shipping will be somewhat more expensive.

I am a retired physician who makes jewelry, keepsake, memorial, and decorative boxes that are typically commissioned by people who wish to give them as gifts. I have been doing this for several years, but have focused on working with exotic hardwoods and more intricate designs since I retired about three years ago. While there are a lot of woodworkers who enjoy making small boxes, I believe that I have been able to differentiate myself from them because I have developed my marquetry skills and now do almost all my decorative and inlay work with a double bevel technique that I learned from the artisan David Marks.
I work alone and handcraft every item to meet the unique specifications of my customers. Typically, they provide me with a reference image and a design request. I then execute the project in about 2 to 3 weeks, spending about an equal amount of time on the construction and finishing of the work. A typical example of this is provided in my project entitled “Keepsake Box for Sailboat Captain.” In addition, I make some of my own designs that I sell. The butterfly marquetry jewelry box project is a good example of this.
My goal is to have the joy of engaging in my hobby while recovering the cost of my materials while have a bit extra to add a few new tools. But, most importantly, I want to be able to provide a unique prized decorative box that fills a special need.

For Handcrafted Four Drawer Jewelry BoxWorking with Dennis was a breeze. He was very professional, and did an outstanding job on the project. Not only is it gorgeous, but he delivered it several weeks early! I am looking forward to doing more projects with him!

For Honu Turtle Jewelry BoxAbsolutely hands down the best experience I've had with a merchant. The quality of the craftsmanship is remarkable, and my wife loved everything about it.
We encountered issues with the postal service & international shipping, with USPS & Canada Post having damaged the item. Dennis patiently kept on top of these issues, despite them carrying on far past the order and delivery date. We originally ordered our item in June and even in January of the next year he was still in touch to ensure everything was in order.
When we encountered difficulties claiming the insurance on the package, Dennis kindly offered to fully repair the item for free and paid for the return shipping out of pocket.
I couldn't ask for a better experience from someone online. Communication was nothing short of excellent, and the entire experience was phenomenal.
10/10.
