Modern Jewelry Boxby Steve CarmichaelAlternating maple and cherry layers form a tall cabinet with six shallow drawers. Each drawer has six small pockets for rings or earrings. Steve’s instructions show how to align the layers with bamboo skewers and add aluminum drawer pulls. His design includes the layered cabinet and pocketed drawers.
6-Layer Jewelry Boxby Sean JohnsonExposed plywood layers frame an open upper compartment and a small lower drawer. Sean’s photo shows a blue lining and a hinged lid. The shared layout contains the box layers, lid and drawer parts; you will add the hinge, drawer pull and lining during assembly.
Dog jewelry boxby Charles EppA dog portrait makes this heart-shaped hickory box a personal keepsake. Charles shows the lid beside the hollowed base after a first coat of mineral oil. The Easel file separates the portrait, inside recess and outside outline into multiple workpieces, with template and alternate passes alongside them.
Dead on boxesby Adam LuffAdam made a small walnut box for a piece of jewelry and a larger one for tarot cards. The small box has a fitted lip beneath its removable lid and a green lining. Choose a square lipped-box workpiece for the jewelry box; the rectangular workpiece is the larger card box. His linked video shows the fitting process.
Surprise Engagement Ring Boxby Joe WhittakerJoe’s long walnut box looks like a necklace gift, but its padded center holds an engagement ring. The shared file contains both wooden halves. His instructions explain how to add packing foam, black felt and a slit that keeps the ring upright.
Mini Ring Boxby Antonello SantiThin beech strips build up a little square box for a single ring. Antonello uses several 5 mm layers and adds black felt inside. The single workpiece lays out the nested frames and solid pieces for the lid and base.
Ring Boxby Brian ArkelsBrian’s small oval boxes fit into a short length of 3/4-inch stock. He offers initials and a heartbeat motif for the lids, plus an optional hinge design. The box and decoration workpieces are separate, so choose the lid treatment you want before carving.
Finished Necklace Boxby Stephen GajA maple heart stands out against the walnut lid of Stephen’s necklace box. Carved initials make it a personal gift. The shared file includes the base, lid and contrasting heart, with separate lettering and pocketing passes. Several versions use different stock thicknesses; choose a matching set before cutting.

Steve Carmichael chooses the end of each board with the nicest grain before carving the front and back layers. His layout puts that end face down on the left so it becomes the outside show face. Decide which side you want to see before securing the maple and cherry boards.
