This jewelry case was designed for a client who wanted storage in drawers as well as hanging pegs on the inside of the doors for necklaces. The doors are book matched from a single piece of lumber and the five drawers have continuous grain. The design, as pictured here, has five 4 1/4” high x 21” wide drawers all solid wood which run on hardwood drawer slides with hardwood pegged sides for extra strength. The top and bottom of the case are slightly wider (by 3/4” on each side) and use hidden brass knife hinges which open 185 degrees for easy access. The solid maple stand is purely decorative and raises the drawers to a good working height. I used the many designs of James Krenov as inspiration.
Finished with 4 coats of hard wax oil with a touch of ochre stain mixed in to make the grain pop a bit more. The size and placement of the drawers can be modified for each client.
