Frank Fusco Member Messages 12,782 Location Mountain Home, Arkansas May 4, 2008 #4 Very pretty. It will be appreciated.
Lee Laird Member Messages 405 Location Austin TX May 4, 2008 #5 John, Beautiful box. What is the light colored wood around the opening? Really complements the dark walnut. What finish did you use on the box? Also, can you post some pictures showing the inside of the box?

Vaughn McMillan Administrator Staff member Messages 36,054 Location ABQ NM May 4, 2008 #7 Very cool, John. I like all the curved lines. I'll bet the interior was a lot of sanding.
Lee Laird Member Messages 405 Location Austin TX May 5, 2008 #8 John, Thanks for the info and the pictures. I'd be tempted to leave the silver like it is. It's a great look. Good use for a nice piece of walnut.

Stuart Ablett Member Messages 15,917 Location Tokyo Japan May 5, 2008 #9 Very nicely done, the cherry accents were not to fix a mistake, they were a "Design Opportunity" I think the cherry bits look like you meant to do that........and that is the story I'd tell The silver will just tarnish over time, so leaving it like is, certainly is an option. Cheers!

Mark Kosmowski Member Messages 1,456 Location Central (upstate) NY May 5, 2008 #11 Very nice! Beautiful figure. I agree with Stu - the wood wanted a contrast so it twisted on you to make you give it what it wanted.
