Dovetail Jewelry Box

Making an Easy Dovetail Jewelry Box Project

This dovetail jewelry box project makes a perfect little woodworking gift. It’s fairly quick to make, it’s pretty easy to construct, and while it doesn’t use very much material, it does have a huge WOW factor when you give one to people! In the video linked above, I chose to use figured walnut for my jewelry box and then lined the interior with felt. The overall concept is a giant sliding dovetail joint that connects the lid and the base.   It’s a unique, versatile, and customizable woodworking project. If you are interested in making a quick DIY gift, there are plans available to get you started. Make one for yourself or a whole batch to pass along to others. Go ahead and give this one a shot!
