How to Make a Jewellery Box

A jewellery box is a practical gift. Matt Wallace from the Ottawa City Woodshop takes you through the steps of making this attractive project, using splined miter joinery.

Meet the Woodworker Matt Wallace.


After working as a graphic designer for 15 years, Matt Wallace redirected his talents into furniture making. He works primarily in the mid-century modern style or with live-edge stock, and uses locally sourced material that might otherwise end up in the landfill. Matt is the cofounder of the Ottawa City Woodshop, a community shop and school.
