OMG, this is just amazing and fantastic Greg !!! First look it reminds me of the molten lava flowing over the edge in Hawaii….. just plain “Ominous”! A favorite for sure….

What kind of woods?

I love the looks of this box Greg. I think I would have named it ‘Lava’ as it looks like a pool of lava about to overflow a volcano. Whatever the name it’s a wonderful box and really nicely crafted.

Oh my good God…I’m still not sure what I’m looking at but I can’t stop looking. Totally incredible.

thanks for the excellent feedback…

I called this BloodRose because of the Rosewood I used for the 4 sides and the Bloodwood used for the knob. I had a hard time deciding whether to use Rosewood for the top…but I would have needed to glue 2 pieces together to get a wide enough piece..and when I kept putting 2 pieces next to each other I didn’t particularly like the matchup of the grain patterns…so I ended up using a piece of Cocobolo and I am glad I did. My first thought was that the top looks like it has a light shining through it..as if were a lamp shade…but Grizzman & Stefang…I like your thoughts and impressions of the volcano and lava…thanks!

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

I’ve seen some crazy good ones on this site but I’m thinking this is the best of all time.
