Walnut Inlay Jewelry Box

J by Gary MacKay

Introduction

Making and inlaying banding using a scroll saw is an easy process that requires only two cuts. This jewelry box project utilizes that technique. Constructed from l/4"-thick stock, the box features a l/4"-wide walnut inlay in the poplar box sides and a l/2"-wide inlay in the poplar lid. To save wood, the lid is made by first creating a l/4"-thick x 1-l/2"-wide frame from the walnut, then placing it on the lid stock prior to cutting the inlay. The optional lift-out tray is handy for holding small items such as earrings or cufflinks. However, if you choose to not make the tray, wood requirements are provided to make taller compartments.

After familiarizing yourself with the technique, you can design and inlay your own customized inlay banding using this "two-cut" scroll saw technique.
