Very well done and beautiful Martyn. Kim has got to like that a lot. Please tell her that I think the design of that mosaic is very very special. I’m not knowledgeable enough to explain the reason, but I just know it is. I guess the word “art” plays a big part there.

You really made the star pop. I love the woods and fantastic execution!

-- Brad, Oregon- The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

Beautiful Box, Martyn!! The Star came out perfect and the Ebony gives it that certain Elegance and Class…
Yet another Great Job!!!

-- Mike in Concord, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills.

Sweeeet! Proof that good things come in small packages.

Beautiful Martyn. A 3-D effect, and the ebony border really sets it off. If I may be crass, what do you charge a friend for a commissioned box with this much effort in? I’ve had a request from a neighbor to carve an elephant, “any elephant” and I am clueless as to what to quote for it. If you’d share a ball-park idea with us, I’d sure appreciate it.

Another project executed to very high standards. Of coarse you always manage to do this.

-- Donnie-- listen to the wood.

Another absolutely beautiful piece of art!
Love the design, wood combination and for sure, the amazing craftsmanship!

The combination of the woods/colors really do make that star “pop” !

I am sure that Kim will enjoy this to the fullest.

Thanks for sharing and being a part of LJ’s
