Happy New Year!

Pure artistry! That's beautiful. Lucky lady!
Bravo! That is a beautiful piece!
Great job Chris I am sure she loves it.great job
Thanks gentlemen!
Very Nice. My wife said it should be displayed on a wall like a painting.
Chris, that is a beautiful, artistic, unique jewelry box. Well done!
awesome Chris! Love how you went "full boat" to inlay individual strip of curly maple to represent the Sun's rays. I admire your high standards! I would have been sorely tempted to short cut with 1 larger piece and then been disappointment with myself every time I saw it. Must be very satisfying feeling making something that beautiful for the LOYL!!
Maybe consider a discrete signature and date so granddaughters down the road have a story to tell about they inherited this ?
Cheers- very well done Sir!
Mike

Well said ,Mike. The sun ray treatment is so instantly recognized that I had to keep looking at the beauty of whole thing for a while before realizing how stylized it is.
Beautiful work that will be an instant heirloom. Well done Sir!
Gentlemen, thanks to you all for your kind words. And, Joe, thanks to your wife as well-that's quite a compliment!
Best,
Chris
Inlays are beautiful, you really captured the essence of a Sandhill.
