Shinning Star 1 Drawer Jewelry Cabinet. On the sides and back of the cabinet is a variation of a Star quilt pattern, in two sizes. On the sides I have 32 pieces in the same area that I have 16 pieces on the back. The cabinet is about 5.5" tall x 7 .25" wide and 8" front to back. I made it using about 378 pieces of wood cut in either diamond or triangle shapes from different kinds of wood. I used the half size pieces for the “Rolling Star” on the sides, so there are 32 pieces where I would normally have 16 pieces. The cabinet 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 cabinet, from the center out of the Shinning Star quilt pattern on the side or back. On this cabinet 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 drawer design of the jewelry cabinet makes it unique from all others. The type of wood on the drawer front is listed on the inside of the drawer front along with the number of the cabinet. The number of the cabinet is also listed on the inside on the back. You will see it when you pull the drawer out and look inside at the back.
