You knew this one would get my attention didn’t you? That is very innovative. Not sure of the practical value but I too like to do stuff because I can. Nobody does hinges and marquetry like you so you should flaunt it! Another great Shipwright project. Keep inspiring us .

Paul,

You’re simply amazing. This is quite clever and a beautiful box any wood worker could admire but only a few could hope to execute. Your marquetry skills just keep getting better and better.

This really did make me smile!

Sigh…...you are amazing. Wait a minute, didn’t I say that before? Or is there an echo in this room? Heavens to Betsy, you are one prolific and incredibly talented guy! Frankly just knowing you makes me a better woodworker because I know greatness is possible if you just put your mind to it. I am creating some pretty cool stuff right now, but not as cool as this box. It is lovely. Well done sir….......

Very very nice,

Paul, great looking box. Your craftmanship is inspirational. Love the ribbon on the box. I know nothing of marquetry, but would love to learn some day.

Paul, This is awesome. I am having difficulty on making just one hinge (your style) and yet you have made it 5 times in this box. Addition to that attraction is the marquetry. Really good work.
