Recent woodworking class at woodcraft in Charlotte

This past weekend I took a woodworking class at the local Woodcraft store and made a hinged box out of soft maple and rosewood with a wenge inlay and cherry accents.  All in all it was a very fun project, I had not done any woodworking in a while and it was great to make something again.   This was a Christmas from my wife and I was just able to use it.

Here are some pics of the box as I progressed thru the steps:
