When the wood looks like that, it makes teh project look much better. Very nice box.

Gene,

Each of the boxes that you have done are very special. I really like the contrasting woods that you have selected for each. Great delicate craftmanship.

Gene another great choice of wood combinations. I’ve used birds eye maple and ebony in the past. You’ve got some beautiful wood/grain here.

Beautiful. Nice wood choices!

where do you get your suede cloth from? and how do you fasten it to the inside of your boxes? beautiful!

ccpenco, I get the suede cloth from craft or sewing stores, like Joann’s ( here on the west coast ).
I then use 2mm “foamies”, they are sheets that are 9×12( also from Michaels or Joanns ). You can sometimes find them with a self stick backing, that’s what I prefer. If not, you can use the regular ones. I spray the “foamie” with 3m photo mount glue, then attach the suede cloth to that. If I have the sef stick foamie, I just peel off the backing and stick to the bottom of my box, if not, I then spray that with 3m glue as well, and then stick to bottom of box.
