There is nothing rookie about this project. I’m sure your daughter will cherish it for years to come. Nice job Dad.

Looks perfect to me! Excellent inlay work. Love the design!

That’s incredible. The inlay is outstanding! It’s sure to be something she’ll cherish forever. Maybe even pass on to her daughter :)

-- What? Me worry?!

Are you kidding me??
That box is fantastic!
You did an absolutely wonderful job and you must remember that 99.9% of the time, the little imperfections you fret over as a woodworker are only ever noticed by you anyway! Looks to me like you did outstandingly well on the inlay. Not easy to do!
I’m sure your little girl will love this box and cherish it forever.
Congrats. A really really well done project. You should be as proud of yourself as your little girl surely is of you.

I’m still looking for the “rookie” part ??????

This is a fantastic box that was made with a beautiful wood combination, skill and most of all….. alot of “heart”!
That inlay is FAAAAAANTASTIC !

I agree, your daughter will “cherish” this for the rest of her life, after all, her wonderful “Dad” made it for her!

BTW, I have a daughter that I feel the same way about, she’s got my heart also…......

You should be proud of that box…as proud as your daughter is of it. Nothing better than being creative and having fun doing it…

Fantastic! This is NOT the work of an amateur! Outstanding in all aspects. Great inlay, Great wood combos, Nice tight joints, the list goes on and on. I am sure this box will be a keepsake for many many years to come.

Keep up the outstanding work.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Great looking box! You did a beautiful job on it. Great Dad! Your daughter will have this for the rest of her life. I do not see where you think this is not a quality piece.

God Bless
