My brother gave me some zebra wood (who gives this stuff away?), so I decided to use some of it for a gift for him and his new wife.  The accents are padauk that I used an Incra template for.  The top is a compass star set into mahogany with another padauk accent surrounding it.  I know the top frame isn’t matched at the corners, I totally made that rookie mistake!  Our last name starts with “B”, hence the B carved into the front of it.
My son likes this so much, he wants me to make another one.  He wants the background behind the “B” to be the padauk…  I think that would look really good so I think I will make another zebra wood box with some minor changes!
