I thought I would share with you the results of my shop time this weekend. The first two pictures were taken outside just to see what they would look like in the sunlight. I am still experimenting with my photography.
This is a piece of Ash that I ended up getting by mistake on a Internet wood order. I kept it and had been making tool handles and such out of it. I decided to try making a box out of it. It is 3” wide by 4-1/4” tall;

This is Black Walnut and Birdseye Maple. The Walnut has these very interesting bronze colored streaks running through it. I decided to have some fun with it and mix it with a Birdseye Maple pen blank that I had. 2-1/2” wide by 7-1/4” tall;

This is Bloodwood and I added no other woods to it since it is so striking in color by itself. I did want to break it up a bit though so I highly decorated it. 2” wide by 3-1/2” tall;

Thanks for taking the time to look and comments, suggestions and criticisms are always welcome.
