Very nice box. You’re correct on the marquetry—it really adds that extra touch of class and beauty. What wood did you use for the inlay?

That is a nice looking box. Curly maple looks great!

Very nice box and the woods are great. I do want to try both keyed miters and marquetry this is nice.

I really like everything about this box. I think you’ve done a fantastic job on it… I love bubinga. The splines, contrasting wood, marquetry… bright blue felt… all an A++

Great job… very talented!

Good work! I need to buy me some exotic wood. I am a wood reclaimer (from local mill trash) and I never will see any exotic wood. Love the inlay!

The leaf is masur birch with a walnut stem. The curly maple actually came from my dovetail drawer supplier (we order doors and drawers for kitchens and baths). I would get drawers in with supperb maple and I called them complaining that they shouldn’t waste beautiful wood like that. So they send me blanks from time to time. Their lumber supplier send them several hundred feet at a time and don’t sort through it well enough. Can you believe that!

Great job Kolwdwrkr. A little marquetry makes a big difference.

Nicely put together piece. I’m envious of the marquetry. The coves lighten up the top and base very nicely.
