The bird is Macacauba, 1 daisy is Satinwood and the other 2 are Maple and all have Movingui centers. The stems are Quilted Maple and the leaves are Zebrawood.
The top tray has ring bars on the outside edges with a divided center area.
All in All it worked out, it's a nice littel box.

Bubinga Jewelry Box

Approx. Outside Size: 12in Wide 7in Deep 7in Tall

Mahogany Jewelry Box

Approx. Outside Size: 10in Wide 6in Deep 6in Tall
This little thing started out as a learning piece. I wanted to learn how to French polish and apply Flocking. The wood I used was actually some "scrap" and it was not supposed to be anything. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how you look at it) it started to look downright pretty and I could not bring myself to tear it apart like I do most of my learning pieces. So there are some defects in the finish (French polishing is a challenge) and the flocking is a little thin in some places but all in all the dang thing looks pretty good so I had to add it the "things I've made" list.
My wife commandeered it for herself so I guess I did something right.

I was asked to make an Urn for a very special man, He was a friend and a man that was loved and respected by many. Once you met him you would never forget him whether or not you liked him you still would not forget him he was that dynamic.

Urn

Approx. Outside Size: 8 1/2in Wide 6 1/2in Deep 9 1/2in Tall
A family friend who had recently lost her father in-law ask that I make an urn for them, she was not happy with what she saw at the funeral home. Another request was that it would endure
I made it out of Ipe which is a wood I have not used before, unfortunately as you can see from the pictures I had some chip out during cutting the joints and no matter what I did I could not make the fill truly match this unique wood. Ipe is probably one of the most resilient woods around and using brass hardware to reinforce, it should stand the test of time.
It is finished in an oil finish and with a lacquer topcoat separated by seal coat. It does look nice except for my mess up, sorry there is not enough time to make another.
