Hi. A very elegant box.
A couple of questions please. how did you fill the amboynna (I assume that its a burl and needed quite a bit of filling) ? Also, is the amboyna veneer or solid timber ?

cheers
Arron

Nice box. elegant simplicity.

Cheers

Not nearly as complex as your Cutlery Canteen which is magnificent by the way.

And yes I did know the rosewood thing. I'm lead to believe that it's the only tree that produces 2 different commercial timbers.

I have a large quantity in my timber shed so the short answer is "the shed".

Where I got it from before that was so long ago I forget.
