This engagement ring box is made from a solid block of walnut. It is covered on all sides with marquetry which I made using a craft knife. The background veneer is walnut burl and the colored pieces are dyed veneers. I inlaid a brass cross into the lid of the box and inserted 5mm barrel hinges.
The inner cavity was made with a 1-1/2" forstner bit. The ring insert is a piece of foam which I punched out using a piece of pipe with a sharpened edge. This I slit to accept the ring and then covered it with velvet, attaching it with hot glue.
