    Yes the outside is all leather. I want to try something exotic like alligator skin. They farm them in the southern US and it is available, I just have not got to the where to get it from yet. This series I am working on will be regular leather. I do intend to do some larger boxes as well. All in good time.

I had a friend years ago who began his woodworking making replicas of Shaker boxes.....and in some hoity toity gift shops I have seen some nice boxes so there seems to be a market for them as well as a practical use.
    That process of marquetry is most intriguing for sure. It is possible. I bought some small pieces of bone slabs with the thought of using those, I also have a friend that does art with metal etching, so maybe a n etched copper plate. I will figure it out later. Thanks for the idea. No saying they all have to be marked the same.

    Great work Rez.
    Marquetry work is truley fascinating (I was never very good at it) is very time consuming.
    I made this Quilt chest for my wife many yrs ago (we still have it) The chest took a few days to make.
    The Marquetry work took me several mos. will never do it again

    Certainly shows that you love to make them. The attention to detail is perfect.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    What a great link Bill. The price is not prohibitive either. I bookmarked it for later!

    Maybe a glass top to show off the item/s inside? Glass can be etched too...
