I stumbled upon this mortise and tenon structure on an antique piece of furniture, and upon researching, I found its name to be quite beautiful as well, “Pearls and shells”. When I first started learning woodworking, I dreamed of one day creating such a piece. After about ten years of experience, I have now mastered this craft and incorporated it into various works. I have also designed some modified versions, all of which are very interesting. If you have a project you want to complete, don’t hesitate, just go for it.

I also have two sewing boxes like this, but I’m loving the slimmer profile of your version. Way to update a classic!! Gorgeous craftsmanship.
