I was hopeful when I ordered the watch box that it would be something I could be proud to display.  I have a wood shop and make some furniture items but was attracted to this because it looked like something I would make, but was less than I would spend on the wood; never mind the labor and hardware involved.  I was greatly surprised when I open the box and saw the chest in person for the first time! It is simply beautiful and the artisanship reflects the detail put into the case.  Now I am only sorry that I did not build the case myself.  I would be proud to give this as a gift to any of my friends.
