Great box. The mirrored inlays add a really nice touch to the box. The various woods compliment each other well.

That last picture really shows the figure in the lacewood. Beautiful box.

Great work! I agree on the mirror inlay, idea. I am definately going to copy that idea on my next box. I got a pool cue blank of Makore on ebay the other day that I am itching to do something with. Cool wood!
