I like the contrast in colors. Looks great! What type of finish did you use?

very nice

I do like the colors and joinery. That compass inlay adds a real nice effect.

Hi BB1,

First, I applied shellac to everything before assembly and then lightly sanded w/320. Then applied 2 coats of Bush’s Oil. Wet sand 400, then a final coat of Bush’s. For me, the shellac works well keeping the marquetry from bleeding.

That is a very nice box. The compass is a very nice touch and you did it great. Super job!
