What a cool creation! Beautiful box, beautiful wood.
I’m confused, cannot figure out how you cut the box side and assembled it with the drawer front.

Nice work!!! Beautiful and great details. Great job!!!!

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

Zebra is such and colorful wood, you picked just the rite piece for this project. It looks great.
How do you like the smell of Zebra….lol I sure don’t.
Thanks for posting

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

I like it and excellent job

W O W !!! I can’t believe how you wrapped that grain so perfectly around the box including the mitered drawer corners…..Can we get a picture of the top of the box if you can pry it out of your daughters’ hands long enough to take one ? LOL I bet she is more than thrilled by this gift . I’ve never seen your secondary wood before . It really compliments the Zwood nicely and your drawer and compartments are very nicely laid out . Excellent craftsmanship , Dad ! Happy Birthday to the Princess !

Nice work, a gift that will be treasured for many years and perhaps generations to come.

Ted, beautiful job on this very special box for a very special person…........ I have a daughter just like that.

I love the design and also the zebrawood & ebony. I use zebrawood quite a bit in my boxes.

I would like to see another image of the top as well and also, if you can, a detailed image of the side of the
drawers and their corners.

Very clever hidden compartment.

You guys and gals are great! Thank you so much for such kind comments. And yes, thankfully, she loved it! :)

I’ve posted a few more photos and a bit of an explanation of how the drawer was done. Though I mulled over this process for a while it was actually quite simple. Hope this helps, if not let me know.

The secondary wood is Nogal. It is also known as ‘Peruvian Walnut’ and is from South America. It has very little grain (which is why I chose it, not wanting anything to compete with the Zebra). If you use it be prepared to wear a dust mask! It makes a very, very fine dust that coats everything in your shop, everything! Very, very messy.

Once again, thanks so much.
