Rose form jewelry box, made of Imbuia hardwood. The wood was generously donated to me and hand carried to Canada from Brazil, by my good friend Mike Plante.
Box measures 8×6x3″ tall and is finished with Oil Varnish. The top is an intarsia cut rose petal, stem and leaf design.
Imbuia is VERY dense and difficult to work, I must have gone through 4 scroll saw blades during the project; power sanding is a must as well. The wood has tremendous figure, and is definitely worth the effort.
