THE WOOD WHISPERER IS PROUDLY SPONSORED BY:
This cabinet was my first big project. The toughest part for me was preparing the lumber since I do not have a planer, bandsaw or thickness planer. Also I wouldn’t have room to place them :) Unfortunately, there is no store that sells ready milled lumber. So, I had to buy rough lumber and ...
This jewelry armoire was a graduation gift for my niece. It is made out of Bubinga, Birds Eye Maple veneer (door panels), figured maple veneer (top), and Birds Eye maple (drawer fronts). Each drawer is dovetailed and the bottom drawer has a hidden compartment accessible from the back. The base is f...
A designer in Wyoming, who I have worked with before, contacted me for this custom armoire. The client wanted an Indian and some elk with mountains. The home is in Wilson, Wyoming and they wanted to bring some of the outdoors into their newly remodeled home. The inside accommodates a 50 inch flat s...
Hi Marc. Thanks for posting some beginner projects here – it’s been encouraging to see a wide variety of skill levels on The Wood Whisperer. The Jewelry Box was my wife’s anniversary present this past June. She granted permission to send you a few pictures – but I think she ...
This is a jewelry box for my daughter, Melissa (nickname: Turtle), hence the turtle inlay in the top. She just turned 6 and is starting to accumulate some jewelry. Simple buscuit joinery with my first attempt at router based inlay after watching Marc’s video. Designed the turtle inlay to inc...
I realize I am absolutely preaching to the choir here with this one, but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. In preparation for Mini-Spag’s arrival, Nicole and I spent the weekend moving things around. Actually, I did all the moving and she simply told me where to put stuff. One of the...
Dovetailing: Top & bottom case (router-cut), drawers (router-cut), drawer dividers (router-cut), base (hand-cut)…I wanted to experiment with both methods. The hand-cut definitely look more refined, but it was nice to have the router/jig since I had so many dovetails to cut on the rest of...

First jewelry box I’ve built, but this was for a special granddaughter graduating from High School. Fairly simple joinery was used to make it sturdy. Top was made and then fitted to the rabbet in the top frame. Legs were made like a corner molding and glued to the box. Slider inside was made ...
Made these two jewelry boxes for my daughter and daughter-in-law. The top is a rose inlay from Rockler. The rest of the box is out of curly maple. The box sides were stained with a walnut stain at first to make the curls pop and then sanded back and then stained with an oak stain. Then sprayed 6 co...
I was looking for something to create for my niece on her 18th birthday and I came across a picture of a jewelry box which looked unique so I took the design and added my own touches. Having just completed a class on Shell Inlay I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to practice my new found ...
When I introduced myself on the site, I said I was working on a jewelry box for my daughter. Well, after about 20 hours and a lot of mistakes because I made it up as I went, here it is. I looked at a lot of pictures on the web and formulated my own plan with ideas from a lot of them and of course ...
