Description:

Some pieces of wood are so great that I save them for a special work.  Such is this beautifully figured Honduras rosewood (Dalbergia stenensonii) which is rare, as is the color, a rich brown with a touch of blue.

The piece I had is lare enough for two boxes and this is the first.  It is thickly veneered and laminated to a base of cherry.

The top is a bleached maple burl that is only lightly finished so that the texture of the burl stands out as a marbled effect.

The box is lined with suede leather and finished with a gloss urethane to the point where most of the grain is filled, but not all.
