Absolutely stunning. This box ranks right up there towards the top of the very best WWing I've ever seen on this site. Well done.

You guys are quite flattering.
I will post a few construction pics below to give you a feel for how it is made.
This is how the pierced diamonds are made. A square of holly gets a 1/16" cut in the center. That is filled with ebony. Little pieces are cut off of the ends. The trick is that the end MUST be face grain, not end grain. End grain will muddy with sanding and finish. SO...I used a 16" wide piece of Holly. Yes, you read that right. I cut 2" off of the end and made 8 sticks of this. I have a lot of these for the future.
Corner joints. I used the Lock Miter Master. A WONDERFUL tool.
The BOTTOM of the box
Hope this helps,
Wayne

Wayne, thanks for posting the pics. Do you use a 1/16" router bit for that groove?
Again, amazing work!
