This is a pen collectors box for a friend. 

Approximately 13"×9"×4 1/2" high.

Wood is Cocobolo.  Grain wrap around.  Small ebony splines.

Raised panel bottom set in dato. I used a Shaker raised panel bit from Whiteside.

Top is beveled glass. 12 7/8" × 8 1/2" 1/4" thick (tempered) Custom order from Dulles Glass. It was an on line order.  About  $100

The insert is leather. Ordered off Amazon from Monteverde. Holds 12 pens. About  $70

Brusso JB102 brass hinges.

The brass knob was purchased many years ago.

This will be a gift for a very close friend.

Beveled glass is expensive.  I have so.e old panels from salvage yard.  2 a little larger than this one.

Really great job with the cocobolo, that stuff is kinda mean to work.

I really like the decision to keep the lid transparent, cut glass makes it even more special.
