Jewelry Cabinets
Lacewood Jewelry Cabinet
We made this ultimate jewelry chest with beauty and
unparalleled function in mind. Built to last generations, the
case is constructed with tapered sliding dovetail joints joining
sides to top and bottom to sides. The cabinet stores an enormous
amount of jewelry, with eight graduated depth drawers, and two
pullout, two sided swiveling panels, one for necklaces, and one
for earrings. The panels are suspended on a solid wood double
glide system that allows them to be pulled entirely forward of
the cabinet enclosure, and then pivoted, providing perfect
visual and manual access to both sides of each panel. Thus the
cabinet doesn't require side clearance to operate. These are
made in small batches in various woods.
Lacewood Jewelry Cabinet
This hand made jewelry cabinet is built from two visually
related, but botanically distant hardwoods, commonly known, with
immense confusion as to which is which, as lacewood and
leopardwood. On this jewelry cabinet the top and legs are
made from leopardwood, an extremely dense hardwood generally
from Brazil, that like its oft-confused non-relative, lacewood,
exhibits snakeskin figure when quarter-sawn, and rows of hyphen
like dashes when rift-sawn. The side panels and drawer fronts
are made from the much softer lacewood, often referred to as
Australian lacewood, but now obtained mostly from Latin America.
The two are beautiful together, and create a subtle metaphor for
global harmony.

In this picture we have opened every other drawer to show how the drawers have different divisions to accommodate a variety of jewelry needs.
The dovetailed drawers seemingly stop magically at full extension (due to a magnetic stop system) so they don't inadvertently pull out, causing you to dump all of your jewelry on the floor, but with a conscientious tug they can be removed and reinserted with ease.

The panels are made so that they pull out to the end and then swing open in both directions. The necklace holder on the left has 10 brass hooks on each side, and a little velvet padded well on the bottom of the panel that will catch your longer necklaces. The earring panel is also 2 sided and will hold up to 150 pairs of earrings, with both slots and holes to accommodate different earring styles.

This earring panel is pulled out and swiveled to the left.
The earring storage holds over 100 pairs of earrings, with
provisions to hold different types of findings in the slots and
holes.

This is a picture of the back of the hand crafted jewelry cabinet. Some would call it a jewelry armoire, but I'm not a big fan of the term. All of the pieces are made of solid lacewood, and tongue and grooved together. The whole panel is attached with brass screws to allow removal if necessary. I've never had a return or customer problem on one of these, but I want to make sure they can be repaired if necessary, long after I'm gone.

Here's a view showing the leopardwood top of the
jewelry cabinet. The top is actually a complex
construction, with solid wood edges, mitred in front, about
2" wide framing a veneered panel. This construction allows for
precise fitting of the drawers and panels, with minimal effect
from changing moisture conditions.
