Check out this simply gorgeous mahogany dovetail jewlery box with exotic wooden carvings.
 
This is a multipurpose box that could be used as an urn, curio, chess piece, jewelry box, or other.

Overall Box Measurements- Box Exterior: 16.75 x 11 x 7". Drawers: 15.25" x 9.5" x 1.75"

The box body is built from a gorgeous and rich African mahogany. The base of the flourish design on the lid is made from purpleheart, but other than that, this box is solid mahogany.

Unique and detailed 2.5D carving into the front, back and sides of the box, as well as the beautiful mahohany flourish that adorns the top of the lid.

The box interior also represents a terrific amount of work... and lumber! There are three removable, felt-lined trays, built from solid mahogany. I partitioned these in such a way that trays will offer increased space for larger jewelry or other keepsakes as you go further down into the box. Small stuff up top, big stuff down below.

I used dovetail joinery on the box exterior and finger joinery for the interior box trays. For the hardware, I chose to use mortise inset solid brass hinges, and also a brass slide rail for the side of the box.

Lots of storage in this little mini-curio armoire. You can tell its solid hardwood just by the weight of it!

I finished the box in two coats of Danish oil, followed by a coat of my proprietary furniture wax and conditioner. Overall, pleased with how it finished up... I would, however, like to apologize for the expensive price tag. This is one of the most detailed, unique, and time-consuming projects I have built to date. I dare you to find another like it!
