A couple of custom boxes. The curly maple has walnut, not so string, inlay.. Maybe more of a rope inlay? The walnut has maple inlay. I accidently set the redwood book match off center slightly, so I opted for the window pain inlay. Turned out pretty good I think. Brusso quadrant hinges, fabric inserts were installed as per customers request. The lid lifts are mitered notches just the width of a finger. My customer asked for this specifically, I didnt think it was a good concept but after I cut them it grew on me. After applying finish, I sent my customer a pic and I dont think he liked them… Hopefully they grow on him as well. The box is joined with hand cut keyed miters. The Redwood is a thick veneer (1/4”) glued to some birch ply, rabbeted into the lid. Thanks for looking

Well I appreciate that, I think he loved the boxes, I’m just not sure the mitered lid lift recess was his favorite part. Thanks a ton for the compliments guys.
