The mountains win again.

Excellent…I like the way you found the unique beauty of the maple on the top…It really is an eye catcher.

Another beautiful box. I too try to feature the “defects” and turn them into design features. I saw the sun over the mountains as soon as I clicked on this project.

If I tilt my head to the right I swear I see a topless lady stretching her arms into the air…

This piece looks as if its still resting in natures preserve, so natural looking. Nice eye on design very striking…Blkcherry

I love finding “landscapes” in figured wood : )
Really nice box !!

Nothing could top the ‘Moon’ inlay that you did (IMHO); but this is a close second. You have a great eye to see the pictures in the wood.

Fantastic! I remember the first time I saw (and felt) a raised relief map when I was a kid and kept staring at the mountain ranges. This reminds me of that and makes it even better.

I agree. The wood is gorgeous !
