Hi everyone
I was recently commissioned to do a keepsake box for a client in Jasper ,Ga for a 70th birthday gift. This was the subject photo to be used for the intarsia on the lid of the box

This is the pattern that I drew , adding a few new details and modifications.

And here are the pics of the completed intarsia. The box is made from Fishtail oak with a Wenge accent strip. and measures 7” x 9” x 3.5 ” There are a total of 70 pieces from 10 different woods used for the intarsia.

I still have to install the hinges and the linings and a couple more coats of satin poly but this was a fun project.
 
Wow Mike you a real Master:thumb: Nice work lucky person gonna get that box.

When i first saw Jasper i was thinking Jasper Alberta Canada, cause that scene would fit right in there.:) But i guess it would in Georgia too.:D
