That's amazing! I need a smoke after looking at that.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

Nice work, the inlay is outstanding. I do not have the patience for that kind of work.

The box is great
but I have no words to describe the Marquetry....I enjoy looking at marquetry and admire the skill that goes into making pictures with veneer. I have seen some equisite work in antiques but yours is by far the absolute best example I have ever seen in any modern work...Yours is a true gift and I hope you are passing your skill on...Truly brilliant work

Awesome. I am always pleased to see something a bit different and this is a fine example.
Reality is no background music.

I agree, a beautiful box and the inlay work is exquisite - both the design and the execution. So many skills I have yet to acquire!
