Can’t think of a better idea to make use of scraps and help your marketing! no question what you do when someone sees you walking with that kinda briefcase, lol

Skills, wood, design, original, incredible, fantastic show case for your talent. WOW!

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Now I know what my next major project is! Wonderful work and a great marketing idea!

Very nice Parquetry!

What a great idea! I’d like to see one with darker trim to accent the different woods even more. I like the latchwork. Very ingenious. (Jeeesh, another project for my list of “Want To Do’s”.)

What type of wood is the sample in the 1st photo, Right side of case, #4 from the left (Red & Brown)? Can you give us a list of all of the woods on that side of the case? (6 samples pieces)

Wow, I agree with Pete…...” A real Showcase” and you are right, half the marketing is done when they see this! A piece of artwork !

Beautiful wooden briefcase indeed.
Your are right Johan, the first impression is the crucial marketing strategy does better than advertisement and usually last longer.
You remind me this tagline at a noodle stall in my place “tell your friends if you’re happy with our food, tell me if you’re not”.

Good luck!
