My daughter wanted a jewelry case a little bigger than the usual box and lid. This is what I came up with. It's padauk with wenge trim and pulls. The medalion is satinwood. I thought it had an oriential feel to it so I did a search on the net and found a site that has names done in Japanese. My daughters name is Kelly and this is what the site says is the conversion. Who knows, it proably means something like "who cut the cheese":dontknow: but I thought it looked good. The finish is BLO,shelac and wax. If any one hasn't use padauk before, it starts out as a horrible orange collor and darkens to a very dark reddish brown. This case is about halfway there.
