Jewellery Box For My Wife

I made this little jewellery box for my wife.  I wanted to try my hand at box making with my left-over maple I had, AND I wanted to try adding a little flare with the dovetail keys (instead of the usual splines I always see).  The lid and dovetail keys are made from lacewood, and I've found that lacewood really likes to put splinters into my hands.

But I'm a stronger person because of it :-)  Oh, I sealed it with good ol' Danish oil.  It really brought out the grain in the lacewood.
