A year ago, we found a beautiful antique maple mirror at an Antique shop. I thought it would be a beautiful jewelry cabinet for Megan. Tom agreed.
We got some Maple lumber from a place on the reservation and Tom planed it down. Tom built a box for it and put a natural clear stain on it to enhance the natural maple wood. I lined the back with a red velvety fabric and added the brass hooks and jewelry hangers. I drilled and screwed in 39 hooks for necklaces, 10 hooks for bracelets and 7 brass rods for Earrings. Tom assembled it using a sturdy piano hinge and a lock.
After Christmas, he hung it on the wall on top of fern strips screwed into the studs as it is such a heavy piece and Megan immediately started filling it.
