Very nice.

The base is very elegant. The “gold” leaf really enhance it
Where do you buy them from?

Did you notice the toes? Here’s the imitation gold leaf.

I did but the main focus was at the part holding the to box.

Thanks !

Those are right joints. Is not easy to cut those compound mitres and have them all line up perfectly. Nice design too.

Certainly one of a kind and so well made. I agree with Martin. More art than carpentry, although the carpentry is also very challenging and so well done too!

I love this piece. The shape, the marquetry, the wood selections all shout classic shipwright. The result is a really striking creation.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words on these three. It’s been a while and my marquetry has improved a lot but I still love these three. I’m glad I could bring out some smiles.

I have not seen this creation of yours before and yes it made me smile as I enjoy your creative projects and the qualety of them .

Paul, when I saw the thumbnail, before clicking to open the posting, I said shipwright made this….and I was correct. Wow Paul, this is absolutely beautiful. Your work really, really inspires me. I know nothing of marquetry, as I build my furniture from solid wood, but the more I see your work, the more I become very interested. I make my living in the Mechanical Engineering world, so I have spent all of my life paying close attention to details. Paul, your work is exceptional and it shows you truly have an eye for the fine details. Thanks for posting, Paul. I always look forward to seeing your work.

I saw this project on Craftisian’s Instagram page and i just had to look it up to get the full story. Amazing work of art Paul but then all your projects are! Your work always inspires me to keep practising my marquetry. I’m very much a novice!

This is a piece of art, a beautiful, crafted box, that must have been a challenge to build, I would not even know where to start with something like this. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
