excellent work as always

for years philippine mahogany
was my wood of choice for tables and furniture

i always waited for the rest to go thru the wood
and get the ‘matching’ pieces

then i could get the ones
that were as diverse as possible in grain and tone

it is such a lively wood
under a good finish
as you walk around it
the grain and light
gives it so much depth
and interest
the more expensive
honduras mahogany
is dull in comparison
(my opinion)

A lovely box, with a very effective use of the stain. I need to remember that …

Beautiful box, Armand. I like the contrast of the dark top.

Thanks to you all LJ buddies, this community is really a source of inspiration to build more projects.

@Ed:
You built excellent boxes too, I just tried a different variation which you can also easily do.

@David:
Thanks to the comment and to your kind words on philippine mahogany.

Armand,
You always have surprises in everybox you made. The green felt gives the emphasis and contrast to the trays. The raised lid with contrast color makes it so attractive. I like the half gloss satin finish too. Thanks for posting.
