It’s a gem Dennis.

Such a fine combination of material some of it I never heard of: Pelin burl.
Now Patti has to make extra beautiful jewelry to match such a fine box.

I couldn’t make up the shape of the splines from the pictures. Is it a diamond or butterfly?
I see diamond on the trays.

Dennis, that is a lovely box. I especially love the marquetry work on this one. Are you working on projects for another book?

Look at your project on a bigger screen answered my question.

The marquetry work on this is stunning. I love your choice of woods and veneers. A beautiful gift.

Thank you very much Ianwater, Woodbridge, Celticscroller, and yes I have started another book, I must be crazy! O yes I am a little crazy I’m a woodworker. lol

Another fantastic beautifully made box Dennis. I love the butterfly marquetries and of course all of the fine details incorporated into the design too. Your wife must be really pleased with it.

Thank you very much Mike, for the kind complements. And yes she is very happy with the box and using it for storage, I pray she won’t scratch the finish. lol

The quality of your design and work speaks volumes, Dennis. Well deserved editor’s choice.

Fantastic Gem box .Another project that screams quality and master craftsman.Beautiful!

It looks like I’m a little late to the show, but nonetheless another beauty, is there no end to your creativity? Say hi to Patti and stay safe up there in Omaha!
