Steve's dolphin inlay box
« on: December 16, 2012, 07:59:47 pm »
Just finished up the inlay dolphin box that Steve has on his site.

 I enlarged the design to 150% so that I had a bigger box

 I made the box body out of popular and the inlay was purple heart. The top is streaked popular I found at the big box. I incorporated the streak to look like the dolphin was diving into water.
