comments: a particularly striking BOX and a nice set of contrasting and colorful woods throughout combine with an elegant physical shape to make this one of my better efforts. The canary in view 2 is spectacular and the piece in view 8 is also quite nice. The yellowheart in the BOX is quartersawn with good ray flakes and nice chatoyancy.
I've left this one pretty thick to avoid stress separations and as a result it has quite a nice heft.
