    African Mahogany and Wenge Jewelry Box

    Here's the latest box I made. The pictures didn't really come out that good. Unfortunately I have already given it to the person I made it for. He will be giving it to his daughter.

    The top doesn't show too well, but it is some nicely figured Maple.

    Hope you like it.

        Wow that is beautiful. Is the heart a surface mount or inlay? What woods is it made of?

                              Man is that ever nice. There are many details there that show your craftmanship but that heart is really great. How the heck did you do that?
