Dee, can you add one more category to the voting? I want "All The Above". So many great entries, this is a tough call.

I had a few scraps of wenge lying around on my bench for weeks and wondered what to make. Then I remembered some bleached white veneer in my veneer box and came up with this. The white veneer is sandwiched between wenge and separated with another scrap-pile wood - mahogany I think. Lids from maple, cherry, and wenge.

View attachment 232138View attachment 232139View attachment 232140I made 3 of these presentation/ keepsake boxes as Christmas gifts for my brother in laws. I have been buying these old folding rulers for years with no idea what to do with them. Then this idea struck.
I must admit that I did not do the CNC work. I drew the template on cardboard and a very talented friend turned it into the inside blank with enough space for me to flock. Then I made the boxes. Curly maple and walnut on this one with BLO, buffing and carnauba wax.
So, if it’s not a keepsake box, never mind. If having another person do cnc work disqualifies it, never mind.
I just wanted to show them to someone.
I also collect folding rules, your collection is beautiful!
