​This Lacebark and Jarrah box was sold to a lady from the U.K. who was over here travelling through New Zealand.  After some careful packing I sent it on its way to the west of England.

This Red Beech Desk Box with Jarrah posts and handle and an Intarsia lid was on display at Marlborough Creative Artisan’s Shop in Picton. Thank you to a gentleman from Auckland with an appreciation of woods and woodworking who purchased the box to take back home with him.
