Birthday card box

[Jim Finn]

A friend asked me to make a birthday card box, much like a recipe box, for a woman celebrating her 90th birthday.  She will keep her , approx. 200, birthday cards from church members in it. Flower is a gardenia. Cedar with hard maple inlay.  6"x8"x6"tall.

That is beautiful.   I can smell the cedar already.   

I hope it fits all the cards. 

Great inlay.

Another beautiful piece Jim, where do you get your cedar at, RJ

Seem like it have been awhile since you last posted one of your cool boxes..  A beauty as always... I have to say though,,, I spent some time trying to wipe that black mark appearing on the lid, off of my computer screen before I realized it was in you picture!

Trying the inlay is about three places down on my bucket list... Keep the inspiring boxes coming..

The contrast between the cedar and maple are beautiful. Fantastic job. I'm sure she will be very pleased.
