I made this for a college sorority girl I met when I went back to homecoming at BGSU. She was so gracious and gave me a tour of the sorority house. When I attended school there, men were not allowed upstairs, so I got the see the room my girlfriend lived in almost 50 years ago.

Cherry lid with walnut inlay, some nice figured maple for the box, walnut slip feathers.

When men were gentlemen and women were ladies.

Your gift is beautiful, I'm sure it will be cherished.

Oh geez...is this one going to turn into another of those "back in my day...kids today..." threads?

Nice box Joe.

Joe, I'd be happy to give you a tour of my place - I can be pretty gracious :D.

Very, very nice thank you gift.
