Taken for Saturday 'Self Challenge': "Wood"

These are a carved elephant ink blotter (I still use a fountain pen) and a Japanese, marquetry veneered puzzle box, to open the box you need to slide one of the eight concealed panels, in the correct sequence, a total of 56 times . . .

Here's a photo of the veneer maker at work, which shows how the veneer is made.

For scale the image is around 18cm across.

[edit: and here's a video showing another craftsman at work, which shows how the veneer is made: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxvOMHoLRBY

and here's a similar puzzle box being opened www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi_b6uGolgU

Have wanted to try this for some time, this is a 30" LE taken with the camera looking through the car windscreen. Only managed to get one opportunity this week to try it out. Needs a bit of working on I think.
