A guy could build a full set of dining room furniture by the time it took him to make that small keepsake box. Awesome job brother, you've got conviction and then some. I can more that appreciate the difficulty and time gone into making this one-of precious gift, Happy Birthday Jessie. A while ago I was commissioned to make a jewelry box to look like an ornate blanket chest with inlays , when I gave the customer an estimate, I was told to my face that my price to make it was out to lunch. The customer had no idea regarding the amount of labor that would go into it, she figured because the box was so much smaller than the chest it had to be a lot cheaper. Long story short, she went elsewhere and the price was almost doubled as what I quoted, she came back to me, agreed on my price ...I told her I was too busy and was no longer interested in taking it on..

Happy birthday, Jess and have a beautiful time with your awesome father and your family 3. guessing what you might use the pattern for - I can imagine you doing an inlay of tool handles 4. The fiddly work pays off, the result is amazing. Very detailed and almost mind bending 5. regardless of anything else, Neil, thank you for sharing your world with us. It is really healing to know that some people are actually contributing beauty and not only darkness and destruction. Be well, sir and thank you! One more thing I wanted to say. I've always enjoyed your videos for the process and creativity, the result and your humanity, but recently you have really upped your videography. The footage and editing itself is amazing.

Like setting off straight and simple surfaces by contrasting them with an intricate frame or border.

I assumed it was hand cut inlay, but after seeing this video, I would assume it was doing using a method similar to this. I was stunned how inexpensive it was, for what I assumed to be inlay. And after seeing this, I may be even more stunned how inexpensive it was, as even using this crazy technique is wildly labor intensive. I'm stunned. This was a fascinating video.

One trip to Namibia I found a beautiful carved elephant with a trunk snout end, 3x larger than it should be. Propotionally the rest of the carving was correct, but the trunk made it unique.
