Detail of inlaid monogram

A box built for a collector of various things.  It measures 14 3/4" x 12 1/2" x 7 1/2"; the drawers range from 1" to 2" high in 1/8" increments.  It is made of Braziliam pau ferro, with bird's-eye maple drawer pulls and keys for the mitred corners.  The top, bottom, and sides are book-matched with continuous grain around the box; the drawers are assembled with half-blind dovetails, and use 1/8" birch plywood for the bottoms.  The monogram is inlaid marquetry of maple and burl (specie unknown) veneer.
