   Really beautiful box. I love the contrasting woods and the organic feel. Would you mind sharing the wood species and the finish you used?

   Senomozi,Thanks for the kind words!
   This box has a Wenge body and Maple medallion inset into the lid,with Bloodwood accents.I prefer to use Deft spray lacquer for boxes,satin sheen,many coats as needed,sanded between each.(I dont use a spray booth,in fact I use the aerosol cans and set them within 5 ft of sawdust on my bench.Dust is not attracted to it like poly or oils.)

   If you would like more info on how I build some of my boxes,then follow this link to LumberJocks and read my tutorial.Its very thorough and has many detailed photos.

   I love the Art Deco period. You have captured the style and elegance beautifully.
