This manages to combine fun, beauty, and an element of “buried treasure” all at the same time.

I’m blown away by this piece Andrew. I honestly don’t know where to start…... After seeing this one and your last project posted I can see why your classes stay filled up and you have published books out there. You sir are definitely a talented man…. Once again… Very impressed…

I’ve studied this box many times, and find that I can get lost in all the wonderful details. When it popped up here, I once again find myself mesmerized by the sheer excellence of it all. It’s like a journey through a small amusement park, where each new discovery delights more than the last. And so many delights. So many little unexpected surprises! I find myself drifting off, just staring at it. (Then, I head back off to the shop mumbling that my next one will be better than my last.)

Love the box, the design and the attention to detail – but not to sure about that carpet!! :)

I don’t even know what to say. It’s perhaps one of my favorite projects here since I joined. It’s such an unusual piece that I doubt there’ll ever be anything like it again. Favorited, obviously.

Andrew, welcome to LJ’s and I am sooooo happy that you have decided to join us.

I have gone back and looked at this box at least 5 times before I could even begin to try to express my thoughts on it. I am still speechless!!! This, as well as your cuff link box are the “Piece de Resistance” !
The absolute epitome of perfection of true art and craftsmanship!

I do have your book and like Charlie, only geography ( and maybe a little $$$ ) keep me from coming to learn your trade. I only someday hope that I can attain just a fraction of your talent and skills to create better boxes.

I have added you to my buddy list so I make sure that I NEVER miss one of your masterpieces…..

Thanks so much for sharing your work and skills with us….
