The French polish is frosting on the cake. If your mate did the Marquettery and made the box he is a very skilled craftsman. I can't imagine the number of hours in a project like this. Thanks for sharing.

Yes everything you see he did he shades his own veneers everything in precious wood he goes gold mining and uses solid nuggets in the lock parts as well he is getting to retirement far and away the best tradesman craftsman I have met. He once showed me an old fashioned solid timber wardrobe he made into a few boxes. when we talk of value ,charging etc I smile when I first met Eugene at a market he was selling his bud vases for fifty dollars I spent a time on his stall in his absence as minder sold one for a hundred he was selling through a near gallery for 10000 and they were off selling for 17000 in the United States to collectors. He built his own substantial brick home and large workshop by himself as an apprenticed Cabinet Maker. I have never seen better veneers or solids he works with.
