BOX: all of the black lines are double thicknesses of gaboon ebony veneer, the golden-colored wood is canary, and the off-white wood is curly maple (not very curly)

flaws/issues: The left inner edge of the purpleheart in view 8 has tiny chip-outs.

comments: Outstanding BOX, excellent two-tone redheart in view 4, nice woods throughout. The mottle sapele in view 1 and the purpleheart in view 8 are highly chatoyant (the purpleheart is more so from the bottom view than from the top).

The technique required to get the ebony veneer all the way around the BOX was very tedious so although I really love the way it came out, I'm not likely to do it too often as it is a significant amount of extra effort.
