Also, the interior detail, the bookmatching of the grain.
It is inspiring and tells me to ditch my tool boxes and finally make a nice tool cabinet for my beloved chisels and hand planes!
I hope you win the saw!!!

Chula Chula writes: I think it's important to note how Kristen has combined her love of biology and nature into her love of working with wood. This not only a functional piece but but stunning piece of art. For some of us with no knowledge of woodworking and terms, the detail is not painted on this cabinet; it's all wood.

If I had such a chest, it would inspire me to greater creative heights. You've got my vote, if I can figure out how to cast it!
