I see desert scenes there. Almost looks like picture jasper. If you could find a pice of that to inlay in the top of your box, it would really set it off. 2 cents from the south.

The wood inspired me to quote a great woodworker the grain reminded me of a Krenov cabinet I once saw in a galery.
”form is only a beginning. It is the combination of feelings and a function; shapes and things that come to one in connection with the discoveries made as one goes into the wood, that pull it together and give meaning to form.” JK

I would make a rather large bundle out of it and put it in the mail – I’ll email you my address. ;-)
Whatever you do with it, just make sure you show off that fantastic grain! Good luck!

I have to laugh at ericandcandi’s comment. I just finished a project with spalted maple and I think I agree with him… OK seriously, I like to see bookmatched door panels from this stuff – so anything with two doors.
