DIY Whiskey Gift Box.

In this project I challenged myself to create something out of the ordinary... ''a gift box'' (Whiskey/Wine)...not just any gift box , but one with flair , & pleasing to the eye. The end result were a combination of light & dark coloured timbers (offcuts) laminated together to create a chess board/checkers theme. I must confess I used a lot of glue in the laminating process , but the end result really speaks for it's self , what do you think ?
