Relief carving in walnut. The box is 9 1/2" X 5 1/4" X 3 5/8" high; the inside is lined with birds eye maple veneer; the marquetry on the inside of the lid is made from holy, pink ivory, curly anigre, curly white oak, and curly sapele veneers and its design is a duplicate of the carving design on the ends of the box; the bottom for the hidden compartment is held on with thin rare earth magnets (4 on each surface), hidden in the corner decorations (which face the inside of the compartment when the bottom is attached), and is released with a stronger rare earth magnet sealed in the small walnut rod or release tool; the exterior finish is linseed oil and beeswax and the interior finish is rubbed and polished lacquer. The box won first prize in a contest sponsored by Woodcraft Magazine in 2011.
