This box is made of Peroba with a marquetry design using several different wood species. It was made for Wendy who was retiring from the International Wood Products Association after 25 years. Her co-workers, staff and Board members had written notes of thanks to her and put them in the box when they presented it to her as thanks for her years of service to the Association.

#60 Vail Rose
I was asked to make a box that could hold a single rose with a rose and Vail landscape on the lid. I used various wood species to create the design and did sand shading to show depth on the rose petals. 2003
