Hello all,
Literally, a couple of years ago now I built a jewelry box for my mum with some marquetry:

At the time, I built a second carcass figuring I would make another at some point to give away or maybe sell. I've since moved, mostly rebuilt the shop and found the perfect recipient for the box
During the move, I did the design and began the early stages of the marquetry while in temporary housing. I've just pulled all the 'pre-made' parts out of storage and have begun again on the project (a birthday is a motivating factor and has pushed aside the NBSS tool chest project for now).
Here's the start on a temporary workbench while in purgatory:

And a week ago I was able to mill and plane grooves for the draw components (boy is nice to have a shop again!):

So nearly all the pieces are staged with nothing to do but start on the marquetry proper....

And the hunt for the right veneers begins under the watchful eye of Charles the shop dog:
