Maple Burl

Beautiful!

To me, the first picture creates an optical illusion in the the brazilian rosewood looks concave when it is actually convex!

Heeey!!!

Thats a pretty impressive “chunk” of timber.

Are burls like oysters when you cut them open the box is inside already finished lined and ready for use?

A very impressive and no doubt rewarding effort, nine coats? well the results speak for themselves or is it sparkle!

Nice looking box. That burl is beautiful.

Beautiful. nice choice on the trays as well. Working with beautiful wood makes me a little nervous also!

Wonderful box. I would be nervous cutting dovetails on it. But you did an amazing job!

Thanks AJ. It was very slow and tedious but I was proud of my first dovetails.

That is a beautiful build. I would be nervous on the first cuts as well. I like highly figured wood, it makes any project stand out. Nice job.
