Parquetry box
I have been lurking here a bit so I thought it was time to come out of the woodwork and show my latest. Materials, ancient redgum (black edging), jarrah, dark brown, hoop pine lighter bits and casuarina and banksia.

Wow! Very nice indeed.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

Lovely box. You need something precious to keep in that box. Jewels, Dead Sea Scrolls, or something.

Thanks for the positive comments all.
That was just a concept box to see if I could actually do one and to see how hard it was. Well now I think I can and it wasn't too traumatic, just a bit boring in places cutting lots of small bits to the right size. Now my sister wants one for her 50th birthday, damn family obligations.

Looks more complicated than stripping.

John and the Full Monty - I think notstripping? that is a real art form
Ivor, some real patience displayed there. Great looking box.Bob
"If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
