Tassie Blackwood and Birdseye Huon Pine (bookmatched) storage box
This box is 600mm long x 300mm wide and 200mm high. There are two removable trays made from some old Blackwood showing beautiful fiddle back feature. The box itself is made from some of the nicest figured Blackwood I've seen for a while. The lid is my last piece of some Birdseye Huon Pine, bookmatched and finished with oil. As is the rest of the box. It is a gift for my wife, just to show I care.
Regards,
Rob

What did you do? That's some serious sucking up Rod
Oh, if she doesn't like it I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding a taker

If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"

VERY NICE!
Like most good woodworkers what you have done is to show the natural beauty of the wood to its max. The beauty is mostly in the wood (to me anyway) not design although finish matters. The skill is in showing off natural wood figure and beauty to its max. Well done. Love it.

That is stunning. As you said, some exceptional Blackwood and you have created a very handsome box. Superb.
