I built this box as a thank-you for a lady who was my son's teachers aide in elementary school for 5 years.  The box is constructed of black walnut with a red oak panel for the lid.  I always love the way walnut and red oak look together.  The front is a bent lamination, the stringing is maple.  The compass rose inlay in the top is shop made of African blackwood and maple.  This box presented a few challenges, mostly related to the curves, but in the end the recipient was pleased.

I am really curious about how you created the star inlay on the top, though. It looks far beyond my current skill level.
