I have always been fasinated with intarsia ( the art of making pictures from different types of wood). My last Wood magizine had the plans for these 4 small boxes, so I thought I would give it a try. Their not perfect, but I'm fairly happy with the way they turned out. The little wishing well in the background is something I made a few years ago. Hope you enjoy looking at them. These now belong to my sweetheart, as do all of the first things that I build

Jim, I am very happy with all the things you have made me. These are especially cute. I think I am very fortunate to get the first of all the things you make. Love you, Connie
