All Cut.

Whew. This was about 3 hours of cutting and reassembling. The opposite sides are covered with brown paper tape to hold them together, that’s the side that will show. This is the side that will be glued down. They look a little dry and pale because they aren’t sanded or finished.

    Wow! The veneer assembly for the Mariner's Star box is amazing. My father was a woodturner and I appreciate your talent.

    ••• Love what you are doing! I saw a photo a few days ago and thought it might have been inlaid with marble. Absolutely beautiful with the different woods.

    The Mariner's Stars are beautiful! I think the wood in the background of the 3rd picture looks like a stormy sky.

    Your boxes are beautiful. I am really taken with the Mariner's Compass one. Maybe when I find a job I purchase one to celebrate.
