The jewllery box is doing fine thanks to your help. It (the bureau, it has doors and shelves) needs hinges and door locks. It has been suggested that I epoxy a magnet into the frame and a nail head into the door. I don't think that will work as my material is too thin. Some of the hinges I have look O.K. but are held on with screws. I don't want to split the oak at this stage. Any ideas? I appreciate all the help. Bob
