I forgot to add that the dots in the center of the cross and the intersections of the Wenge are made of Bolivian Rosewood.

Thanks Sheila. I like to try to challenge myself. I feel that once you get good at something it’s time to add to it. I think the next step will be to do more to the inside of my boxes. I have been chewing on it for a while and I think that is the next logical step. I will continue to try to make the outsides better with each one also.

Boxes like these, give me something to aim for. I will NEVER hit the mark you set but I can try.

This is a fantastic box and simply put, a work of art. Whoever bought this got a treasure.

Great craftsmanship Joey.

Thanks Jay, I figure nothing is perfect, I just try to get it as close as I can.

You did a really great job on this box Joey. It is so nice to see your work steadily progressing… the wood combinations and craftsmanship are top notch.
Congratulations on selling it so quickly. I did not know you can sell things on Facebook. I should look into Facebook as another marketing tool. Too darn hot to do outside shows in the summer.

I am just completing a new building behind my workshop for additional storage and am having box-making withdrawals from not working in my shop.

I thought this was a cool shot in the negative.
It really shows the grain
