This was made because I had the wood and my wife wanted a box to put the mail into. I think that she got more than she wanted. It now sets on the table next to the rocker. It was made with claro walnut and has a yellowheart flower on the top as a handle and the bottom is also yellowheart with an inlayed flower in it.

Fine work there Gary. The handle flower is really something, and of course I’m envious over the marquetry pansy, since that has become a passion for me. BTW, have you seen Neil Lamens' interview with Silas Kopf on Furnitology?
