Two months ago my sister died at the young age of 44, while I was designing this box, so I named it after her, "Little Sister"

It is made out of solid Ribbon Stripped Mahogany & Ebony for the hardwood. For the Marquetry I used, Bloodwood, Myrtle Burl, Walnut, & Ebony Size is 9" wide x 13" long x 5 1/2" tall.

This box is for a how-to-do book, that I an currently writing. This is the first of five boxes. For each box there will be the same exact box without the carving and marquetry, for different woodworking levels.

woodjock woodjock writes: I have seen some of the most amazing carving and marquetry from Dennis that I have seen anywhere in my life. I can't wait for his book to come out. Boxes like this are just one of the few things that Dennis is adept at. He made a triangular shaped coffee table with some of the most unique carvings I've ever seen in my life on Lumberjocks.com. He is on his way to becoming one of the best artists of our times. woodjock aka jockmike2
