Cherry and maple jewellery box

So I am starting the production of a cherry, and maple jewellery box with purple heart details.

First job is to rough size the stock and then let it rest in my living room for a week or two. This ensures the timbers moisture content will be as close as possible to its final environment, reducing movement throughout the seasonal changes in moisture.

Once I am happy, I'll bring the timbers back to the workshop and begin work!
