Last year I made a Brazilian Teak box and gave it to my father as a Christmas gift.
My brother has seen it, so now I've made another for him. This time Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) with an inlay of Red Oak from the crotch of the tree. The stressed grain and some insect holes seem to really set it off. At least that's what I'm thinking.
