Eagle Scout Gift

Beautiful Job!

You are right to be proud of his accomplishments and hard work and for sure he will be just as proud of you and this chest.

Awesome project that he will always treasure. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Great work! Is the eagle marquetry? Is it glued onto the lid or inlaid?

-- Always do the Right Thing the Right Way the First Time - if you can figure out what that is! Ken, Spring Branch, TX

The eagle is intarsia and partially inlaid. I used zebra, maple, canary, and ebony in it. The box exterior is cherry. The lid is tiger maple with cherry bread board ends. All peg work is ebony. I heavily contoured all the eagle feathers so it seems more 3d and left it stand proud of the lid about 3/8 “

Excellent job. Congratulations to your son as well. As a Scouter for years, I know how much work that is.

Very nice job the box looks great. Congradulations to your son.

Awesome! As an Eagle Scout, I know the work he put into it, and by the amount of work you put into his chest, your pride shows. Congrats to both of you.

Wow, that is about all that I can say about your work. Best of luck to you and your son.

WOW ! that rocks, both the chest and more so your son’s making eagle scout. Very cool and nice work to both of you.

Quite an accomplishment for both of you.

I heard someone on the radio the other day, I think it was the governor of Texas, who was talking about how many of our notable figures have been Eagle Scouts.

Pride.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Great job!
