Rockford Box in Dovetailed Sapele with Swiss Pear top.

Great box! Don’t you just love swiss pear?

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

I really like this box. Sapele is a gorgeous wood and the inlay just draws your attention to the box.

Very nicely done.

Thanks for sharing.

Again, great detail work and wood selection.

Gorgeous! Really nice details.

This one is my favorite. I like the details and I think that the inlay work adds a lot of character to your boxes.

Another very nice project.

great job.

Where does one obtain swiss pear wood?

Thank you all…

Jon, I fell in love with Swiss Pear when I saw it used in Beneteau sailboats (the cabinets behind me in my picture are those cabinets) I have found a few pieces online, and even have found some veneer at Woodcraft.

Hope this helps…

Terrific looking box, Tom! You may have explained this elsewhere, but is there a special significance to Rockford for you? Just curious. Thanks for sharing!
