You have some very nice pieces there Shaun. Nice to see what can be done with beautiful woods. I would like the time to try my hand at some boxes as most of my work is furniture or fittings at the moment. Very impressive. :wink:

All excellent pieces,Shaun - nice to see you've been keeping busy :lol:
If I had to pick a favourite,I think it would be the goncalo alves jewellery box - the combination of timbers seems to work soo well
