early wooden laptop

[Rarest wood]

This is the carcass and veneering done over the Christmas period on a writing slope for a commission. The veneer is jinsi' (golden-thread) nanmu over a mahogany ground, I will make a pair of Emperor pens in Huanghuali and Tzu-t'an to sit in the pen well and it will have a cut glass inkpot with a silver top. And a leather skiver tooled up to sit in the opening will post some more photos and better ones when the project is finished.

Very nice work. The veneer is beautiful. The whole package sounds unique and wonderful.
