This year's Christmas project is going to my oldest son's girlfriend Meagan. It's a combination of curly maple, birsdeye maple, hard maple, and padauk. The box style was inspired by a project featured in Wood within the past year, but we changed the dimensions and modifed the center inset. The finish is clear shellac and Formsby's tung oil finish.

The rays stand out so well, that it looks like you split the wood yourself. Beautirul!

That figure is awesome! A well made project that turned out beautifully. If I were your son though I'd be a little upset, cause that JEWELRY box is sitting empty right now....
