Scrappile Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 WOW! that is truly nice, Jim. I have got to try inlay. It actually appeals to me more than intarsia. Not sure why, both are beautiful. Jim Finn 1 Quote

Jim Finn Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the kind words everyone. I sold a few of this design last season. I enjoy this pattern especially. I am sill looking for more ideas and more things to do. Here is a photo of one other, similar, box. Edited March 23, 2017 by Jim Finn Quote
meflick Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 Beautiful boxes Jim. I can imagine that they were a good seller for you. When you say you are still looking for more ideas and things to do - is that ideas for things besides these boxes, or other ideas for the boxes like maybe a dogwood tree blossom? Thanks for sharing. I love these boxes and maybe one day can try something like it. Jim Finn 1 Quote
