This set of boxes was designed to showcase the miniature finger joints that so often impress other woodworkers I meet at craft fairs.  The case opens in the center, displaying the drawer fronts of a set of drawers made using the tiniest finger joints.  The joinery of the drawers is visible through ports in the sides when the box is closed.

 
Folding chest-of-drawers jewelry box, with 12 drawers, walnut with maple, walnut, and cherry mosaic inlay, drawers are yellow heart and bloodwood, lined with blue felt that gives the box a nice accent.  Extruded brass hinges and magnetic catches.
Cat. no. 2232

This close-up of the wooden finger-joint hinges shows the care and precision that make these boxes so exquisite.

 
The ports that expose the drawer joinery also serve a functional purpose.  Use the holes to push the drawers open, since there are no drawer pulls to detract from the bank of drawer fronts.
