Box with chased threads. Lid is Burmese Blackwood with a Paua Shell inlay. Body is Lignum Vitae. Around 3" (7 cm) tall. Not happy with the design, but this is my first successful piece with chased threads. It was a fun experiment, I have to experiment some more to make the threaded elements less of an interference.

Actually, it looks pretty good. Out of the ordinary and into the realm of artistic endeavor ... Nice work Charlie.

Eric,
I really like this Chased Box. Great looking woods and a nice job on the thread chasing too.
