That's a beautiful piece of work.
Four days? No way I could do it.

Beautiful design and build. I am sure that your friend must be very proud. The contrast of between the walnut and maple is very nice.

Thanks for sharing.

What a great use of contrasting wood colors. Do you have more details on your techniques, jigs or measurements that you used. How did you do the inlayed letters?

As far as build notes go here

THe only jig I made was to cut the splines. As far as measurements I had a basic start but after that everything became relative dimensioning .
THe letters were cut out and then traced on the lid. I used the stew mac dremmel routing adapter which for inlay is amazing
