The Oak & Osage Jewelry Box

Created for my amazing wife on her birthday

This handcrafted jewelry box was born to be a memorable birthday gift, with its design balancing beauty, precision, and utility. Quarter-sawn white oak’s clean grain and exacting joinery create a refined, enduring body finished in hard wax oil for a warm, tactile sheen. The lid, milled from osage orange, shimmers with amber and tiger‑eye tones that seem to catch light like fire as it turns. Inside, a pull‑out drawer and assorted cubbies provide generous, organized storage, while a removable tray carved from a single solid block reads like a sculpted fold, marrying seamless form with practical function.
