That looks great!
I'd love to see some pics of it in the sun and some more detailed pics of the drawers  (not that I need ideas or anything)

it is still very rough ill rub it out tomorrow the whole box is spalted curly or tiger maple (not sure)inclidine the drawers. shop made 1/64th purple heart neneer face then 3/32 holy inlay for stripes. and the handles are mortised onto the ceter peice of holly so there are no fastners.that was fun.i died the curl black and then used a deep mahogany glazed followed by 4(so far) caots of laquer. ill rub it out tomorrow and hope as is well.

btw does anyone know if the laquer will stop the purpling process?  or will it continue to darken with time?

Nice job Walt I am no expert but I think that the purple heart will continue to darken - hope someone with more expertise will chime in on this

Looking good, Walt
No worries about the purpleheart. In my experience, it maintains color or darkens a little.
