Here is a jewelry box that is made from a Gran Habano cigar box that a friend and his wife found at a roadside auction shop on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the North Carolina mountains about a month or so ago. They brought me about ten cigar boxes to use for my future projects. This one is for him as a gift. The tray is made with scrap red oak. 6.25" x 7" in size. The box cost them about $4.50 usd. Less than 30 minutes cut time using one tool change. I already gave her one using an Insidious brand cigar box. Didn't take any photos of it though. Hers is slightly larger.
When I delivered her box I told them I didn't like that particular box and wanted to bring it back to them.
Then I opened the box to show them the tray ...
I didn't mention that I would also make one for him.
It will be delivered later today.
