Have always liked box elder inlays. Today's arrival pushed my feelings way beyond like .... into the head-over-heals in love realm! Had I not known the inlays were box elder, I would have immediately thought a very light Honduran rosewood. Here's the new box elder burl:

And, for comparison ..... here are some shots of the many shades of box elder ....

Very nice collection of Box Elder, the newest addition is spectacular.
Congrats!
 
All three excellent, and great pictures - like your newest the best. Congrats.
 
LOVE IT!!! I want it. I'll trade you a box elder Mnandi with damascuc for it:)
 
The second small is super nice as well. The grain is fairly uncommon I'd say and it looks like flames. I quite like it! All three together are fantastic!

Beautiful set and a great range of contrast. I have yet to get a box elder, your pictures are wreaking havoc on my will power! Congrats on the new beaut!
 
Can't thank everyone enough for the comments. When I first laid eyes on it, I thought .... well the other small will have to go .... no way will I enjoy looking at it after the new one arrives. Then .... after taking the "shades" photos, my perspective changed. Now, all I can think about is acquiring more box elder grain variants!!!!
