Bob,
Love your work. Your marquetry captures the feel and spirit of Hokusai really well. The box itself is no slouch either.

That is way beyond my capability Bob, but it gives me something to strive for.
All your stuff is top notch.
Thanks.

Great job, Bob. Put me down for the first slot when you decide to start giving classes.

Nicely done Bob…you really bring Hokusai to life! A box that will be cherished for generations to come.

Great work

The lid is outstanding, so when I clicked on the pics of the interior, I expected it to be rather plain. But…, what a nice suprise. The quilted maple and the japanese paper balanced out the lid without competing. Outstanding box (again).
