Jewelry Boxes and Chests by Carl Muhlhausen

I really, really like to make boxes. It allows me to use all sorts of different woods and techniques that might be prohibitively expensive or time consuming for a larger piece. It was my love for using handcut dovetails that got me rolling on making boxes and I'm still at it.

I started out making fairly conventional, rectangular boxes, usually out of figured woods with contrasting inlays. Several years ago I began experimenting with shaped boxes with curved sides and tops. These seem to be very popular and I like the way they look. It's a fair amount of handwork to shape the boxes after a basic rectangular box is made and I've worked out my own techniques for doing it.
