Walnut Holy Chest

[chrisk]

Some years ago, I made this walnut chest for a Greek church. It's made with Greek Walnut (massive wood and veneer), and a few inlaids: Bone, Ebony and Rosewood.

Feel free to ask any question or make any comment. Thanks for looking.
Christos.

Thanks to all.
For the finish: 3 coats Danish oil + a final beeswax coat.
I don't remember exactly the time passed to carve but the whole chest took me around 2 months.
