Small Jewelry Boxes
Koa Dovetail Jewelry Boxes
This box series is available in three different tops, all housed in a koa and ebony dovetailed case. The first is a classic koa, mango and ebony composition, show here. Next is a landscape with koa mountains and rising moon, and last is a triptych of black palmwood. All three include a half-width sliding tray, and dividers below, but these can be removed to have an entirely empty box.
Koa Landscape Dovetail
Jewelry Box
Here's the landscape edition of this series of smaller koa jewelry boxes. This medium sized jewelry box features finely cut dovetails, and a decorative top highlighted by a center panel made with maccassar ebony sky, holly moon, koa mountains and genuine silver stars. The top is made by slicing a solid wood block into "thick" veneers, at about 1/16" almost three times the thickness of commercial sliced veneer. It includes a half-width sliding tray, and dividers below, but these can be removed to have an entirely empty box.
Koa Dovetail Jewelry Box
The sliding half-width tray of this handmade jewelry box houses a two-slot ring pad. Beneath the tray are two dividers running front to back near each end, and an easily removable grid of dividers in the center, perfect for earrings and other small items. For housing larger objects, all the dividers and the tray may be removed.

Black Palm dovetailed box
This medium sized jewelry box features finely cut dovetails, and a decorative top highlighted by three inlaid beveled panels of black palm book-matched end grain, framed in ebony with koa accent lines. The top is both bold and masculine, and the box is equally at home in serving as a men's valet as a women's jewelry box. The top is made by slicing a solid wood block into 1/8" thick panels, and gluing them into routed recesses in such a way as to allow seasonal movement.
Black Palm dovetailed box
Detail of book-matched black palm end grain panel. This is a
very remarkable wood grain, set off in the vibrant and warm
golden browns of koa, and framed in jet black gabon ebony. The
panels sit just proud of the tops surface, with a delicate bevel
catching the light at the panels edges.

Black Palm Jewelry Box
The interior of the Black Palm box is the same as the other dovetail boxes except that the tray is undivided except for the ring pad.

Hawaiian Bouquet Jewelry Box
Since koa has such bold and variable figure, it's especially important to match grain, and select wood carefully. My koa boxes are often made by re-sawing a piece long enough for one short side and one long side, and so I get a perfect grain match all the way around, with two book-matched corners, and two simple continuations of the grain. Pictured is a book-matched corner.
