A classic beauty Roger.

Roger,

The design balance on these veneers is exceptional. Of course, the box is exceptional, too!

Another great box Roger.

Everything align perfectly.

Love the wood you chose for this; the figure is beautiful and complements your inlay!

I had a chance to admire this box previously but it’s nice to see it again as it is always a joy to see your work and first class craftsmanship .

When I previously viewed this box on another site I said wow, an absolute work of art. When I just viewed it again I said, wow, a absolute work of art and craftsmanship. Roger – Your work is inspiring, and I love your E-books which I have purchased from Andrew Crawford’s site. Can you tell me where you order your pig suede from? I just completed two boxes for my granddaughter’s K-5 teachers and I flocked the bottom of the tray and box. I will never do this again; once was enough. I think velvet or suede would have been a better choice for the teacher boxes. Thanks for posting Roger, I have always been inspired by your work.

Thanks all, for the nice comments.

Steve: Tandy Leather (I think their stores are called “The Leather Factory” or such) has some pig suede in a limited number of colors. I have some from them, and their hides are only about 7-8 sq ft. I also have some from Alma Leather in London, UK. They have a wide range of colors, and will ship here, though the hides are typically about 20 sq ft. Andrew Crawford (smartboxmaker.com) has begun offering 1/4, 1/2, and whole hides in two or three colors as well, making the larger hides available at a reasonable price. Those are my three best sources.

Thanks Roger, I certainly appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions concerning the suede.

Another beautiful box outstanding.
