Really well done! Beautiful!

How about filling the box with clear light blue resin to simulate the Koi and stones being underwater .  Intereresting thought but not really suggesting anything, just an image i see in my mind.

Quick question.  What is the inside depth of the box?

There's something really fishy about that piece...

I bet you have some whale of a story though.

Thank Frank

I have no desire to get into resin work.  So many others also suggested that.  

The inside is just over 2" deep.  The Koi is sitting on a 1/2" raiser.

I have also decided to just leave the edges as they are.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and encouragement.

Barb you always come up with better results all the times, we will have to add “Artist in wood” to your title.

Beautiful piece, Barb!

 What a large verity of woods you used in this one. No wonder it looks so outstanding. Way to go girl.
