Any wood workers?

Get your minds out of the gutter! 
Just finished this pencil box for my wife. The box is oak, the top is spalted cherry and the inlay is purpleheart. The finish is tung oil with a poly top coat. The whole thing took about 20 hours, because I had never done inlaying before.

I just attached the links because the pix are kinda big.

Nice work Tom
Can’t wait until I retire and have the BIG shed of my dreams to do that sort of thing; got the gear but not the shed to do it in, bloody hard trying to do anything in a 12 ft x 8 ft garden shed.
Regards
Barry

Nicely done Tom. Wish I had the patience to even try something like it.
My 7th grade project was a cutting board.

Great work! I love the joinery and the inlay.
I tinker in the wood shop once in a while. Mostly big stuff, like bookshelves and quilt racks. I did a cedar picture frame and a checkerboard for the OUCH Convention last year. I also made my wife a china hutch and my grand daughter a crib.

Thanks, everyone! It was a total bitch learning inlaying on the fly. You don't know how much purpleheart I totalled trying to get it right...at $20 per each sheet of 4"x12"x1/4"...it adds up fast! Gator, great stuff, hope my skills can grow to what your's are, the crib is beautiful.

Tom, that's really very nice, especially for your first time with inlaying. The whole box looks great. I bet your wife really loves it. I know I do.  I collect boxes... Nice work.
