    Here's the inlay build. 7 pieces of material stacked & glued together.

    Then cut into 30 degree triangles.

    Then a test fit for accuracy.

    The glue up for 1/2 of the inlay.


    Here's the results.

    again though, I have to thank Jameel for this method.

    Wow

    All I can say on that box is WOW! I really really love it. That makes me want to learn to build boxes.

    Thank you guys, you truly inspire me as well. The finish is Maclac lacquer. I keep adding coats and blocking it back until it fills the grain. Check out the other one I just posted too. It's more of a burl that a curl.

    I can't take credit for the technique used for making the corners. That goes to a wonderful member here, Jameel Abrahm. He uses this technique in the build of his absolutely incredible Oud's. If you can find his step by step build of an Oud. It's incredibly informative.

    Bill, that is breathtaking!!! I don't dare show this picture to my wife. She was convinced that your boxes were solely for cigars.
