One Of A Kind
On the top of this jewelry box is a variation of a “Rolling Star” quilt pattern. The square box is about 5" x 5" and 2 1/2" high on the outside. Inside it is 4" x 4" x 1 1/2". Using 132 pieces of wood cut in either diamond or triangle shapes from different kinds of wood. The half size pieces for the “Rolling Star” on the top, so there are 32 pieces instead of 16 pieces. The box is finished in its natural color with 5 or 6 coats of a clear wiping varnish, rubbed in by hand. The pieces are a bit over 3/16" thick, glued onto a Baltic Birch base, so they hold up much better than a thin veneer.
The type of wood is listed on the bottom of the box from the center out. On this box the wood is “Hackberry” from Missouri, “Purpleheart” from Central or South America, “Wenge” from West Africa, “Satinwood” from Sri Lanka and “Walnut” from Missouri.
The jewelry box is lined with black velveteen, and just right to hold some of your favorite jewelry. You get only the box jewelry not included.
