Mother's day gift I made for my wife

Great looking job, Bill! Fantastic looking marquetry. I’ve got to try it one of these days.

Wow! You’ve done a fantastic job!! If this is your first attempt, then you’ve got it made!! I love the way you’ve put the black top on with the contrasting flower… very cool. What did you use for the black behind the flower?

That is a beautiful box and wood. You have one lucky wife.

Excellent box Bill and the marquetry looks great.

I wish I could get my miters that tight. Beautiful box. I like the shading on the edge of the marquerty leaves.

Thanks you all, as far as the top goes Iam not sure what it is. It was in a variety pack of veener I used a grain filler on it. The black reminds me of the Lilly ponds at longwood gardens in PA.

Great looking box. I love the maple and the contrast. I’ve never tried marquerty…this looks very nice.

Thanks for posting it.

Great job, Bill! I love the contrast of the black top with the quilted maple.

This is a beautiful box. I love the marquetry and the ebony accents compliment the maple well.

Thanks for the post.

Beautiful! Bet you were the hero!

That is one classy box.
See you left space for more rings.
You really have done a great job on the marquetry – detail and colour choice are superb.

That is an absolutely beautiful box! That’d bring tears to my eyes had that been given to me. She’ll be a very happy lady!

-- What goes around, comes around.

Very nice creation. The inlay is beautiful.

-- Maplewood, MN

This is really cool. I like how you made a good-sized box just for rings! You don’t see that very often. I also like the dark keys in the lid miters. Overall it’s a really handsome box and the impressive marquetry tops it off.

Great looking box. You did a beautiful job on it. Thanks for posting.

God Bless
