Popular Post Dave Monk Posted January 1 Popular Post Report Posted January 1 I was commissioned to design and make this box to celebrate our countries 250th year. The stars were the toughest part to inlay. I used aspen, aromatic cedar, blue pine, red oak and walnut. I wanted to use all domestic wood on this project. heppnerguy, FrankEV, DickMira and 25 others 18 4 6 Quote
Scrappile Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Beautiful box. Stars are hard, and being that small they look almost impossible to me. Dave Monk 1 Quote

They are a little over a 1/4" tall. danny, MarieC and preprius 1 2 Quote
