#1 | | Hatteras Lighthouse box Name: Mike City: Midlothian State: VA County: Chesterfield Join Date: Dec 2008  09-07-2009, 07:47 PM
Here are a couple of pics of my newest intarsia commission. It is for a wedding present. The box is 6"x 8" and uses 45 pieces from 10 different woods. Still have to apply a couple more coats of finish and install the hinges and the inside linings.   | | Views: 286 | |

Beautiful piece, I like how the wood you chose for the sky conveys a sunset/rise.
