Terrific workmanship. Love the wenge edge treatment and the blue pig suede really sets off the interior. Are those the SmartHinge from Andrew Crawford? I’ve used those and wouldn’t think of using anything else? Any hints on how you went about inlaying the lettering? Really impressive piece!!

Cheers

Yes the are from Andrew Crawford. Ian Hawthorn also makes some equally as good which I sometimes use. The inlay was cut out on my laser, pretty simple and a lot quicker than doing it by hand.

Beautiful piece. Great job on the edge treatment and the banding on the lid.
