For our son and DIL's 5th anniversary. Mahogany and maple.

Great job, Gene that laser engraving really makes it look professional, you seem to be getting the hang of it. I like the contrasting woods too.

Now that's one fancy wine box Gene. I can't read the inscription but that certainly makes it very personal and should be treasured. I can't imagine how the lucky couple will react....

Wow Gene that looks really nice!!

 

[Gene Howe]

Thanks for the nice comments, guys.
The inscription reads "Happy Anniversary...Nate and Christina...4-18-04....IIRC.

Very very nice, Gene. It was a great idea to feature the beaded handle. I couldn't tell from the picture if that is a rigid wire, cable, or what that the beads are threaded onto.

Well done. When I first looked at it I didn’t see the chair in the background and it looked as though you had added a curved top piece.

What a nice gift, and I generally like a two toned piece, but this one is terrific looking. The engraving is the finaly touch.

Very nice, Gene...I'm sure they will treasure it...

You use your new play toy, I mean tool, for the inscription??

Yep. Sure did. It's a fun toy.

Jim, I used paracord for the beads.
