Dovetail box by Emilio Remogna
A little square dovetail box. This is my first attempt to realize dovetails. The lid has no hinges. I’ve used pine wood to make the box. The wood is cheap laminated wood (generally I wonder if laminated wood is suitable for wood joints). To finish the box I’ve used a simple technique (scratched acrylic paint and brown wax) to obtain an “aged wood” effect.

Dovetail Box by hhcraft
small oak and maple dovetail box with a purple-heart handle
Dovetail Box by Jeff Hallam
Proud to say that after rough milling this project was built entirely by hand. I used leftover oak for the box and bottom. For the top I use a small piece of tiger maple. I don’t yet own a gouge, so I put a small nub on the end of the lid to assist opening. I also used tiny, 1/8″ magnets to keep the lid closed as I don’t like how easy it was for it to fall open. This was a gift for my daughter and a great little project. I was astonished at how well the dovetails fit after following along with Paul’s videos. I’m still slow at it and had to do some paring but the results are above my expectations! Finished with shellac and wax.

My Dovetail Jewelry Box Before Staining (No Power Tools Used) Poplar and Oak
Dovetail Box by Bob Yeager
American Oak and Poplar Dovetail Jewelry Box (My first woodworking project) No Power Tools. I studied Paul’s tutorials over the past four months. Prepared my tools and learned to sharpen everything. One day, I was watching the dovetail box videos and started to build one with oak and poplar. As I was moving forward, I realized it would make a fantastic jewlery box for my wife. I probably messed up my dovetails at least 12 times. So, I just kept starting over until I completed everything. I’ll upload a picture without the stain just after this. Paul, thank you so very much for your video mentoring. My father and I always wanted to do these types of projects together. Sadly, he passed away 3 years ago before we had the chance. Now, I’ll do them with my children, thinking of him, with your guidance. Thank you so very much. – Bob Yeager
