One of my customers requested that I make a box for them with a magnolia blossom inlaid into the lid. This is what I came up with. I made five of them because I like it and think others may like it also. I got the image through an image search on the web. Flower is made of maple and Bois'darc and leaves of poplar. Box lid is made of eastern red cedar. (aromatic)

Thank you all for the kind words.
I was correct in thinking that I should make more than the one that was ordered. I made five and now only have one left. The lady that made the initial order liked it so much that she bought two more of them from me and I sold one other to a friend. Now I have only one left to offer at the sale tomorrow. Well, now I know what project I will be starting on Monday.

Is the inlay the full thickness of the lid or more like a veneer?

I use the "double bevel inlay" method witch requires the inlaid wood to be cut to fit all the sway through the background wood.
