    Default THE ULTIMATE WEDDING SET

    In conjunction with a friend who makes beautiful boxes, we were commissioned by a client to produce a wedding set to be sent to Amercia as a wedding gift.
    The result is below. The first photo shows the lift out tray with the pens (fountain and roller in Pristina done in Karri and American Cherry). The middle inserts are sealing wax with the stamp at the bottom. The box is made from American Cherry at the client's request. We are both happy with the result as is the client.

    Absolutely Stunning!

    That is the level of presentation I'd love to get to. Time will tell.

    I think I posted them on here once before Fred, before Alex started making the box. Maybe it was on my business site on FB.

    Thanks all for the comments. My part was small compared to Alex. The client loved it and paid immediately. Its a wedding present for his brother in the States.

    Thank you John. Working in collaboration with someone else produces this as Alex can't turn a pen and I can't make a box. We helped each other out as members of the forum do regularly
