Lovely job Alex, with those lovely birds to look at I would be wondering how quickly I could get to checkmate so I could look at them again. Are you making a box for the chessmen?

Nice work Alex - the marquetry looks brilliant.
As for not strictly being a box, I remember hearing a wise soul around here somewhere once mutter 'a box is a space surrounded by wood'. Looks like a box to me

Wow. What a stunning piece. I've recently started to try marquetry, but I haven't found a knife that I can control accurately. Can you tell me what you use to cut the veneers?

Very nicely done. Beautiful marquetry. Pawn to Queen's Bishop four.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.
