Plan to make a box

[Shawn Stennett]

I have acquired some 1/4" leopard wood and paduck and I want to make a couple small boxes. I want to make the long sides out off leopard wood but don't know what other wood would look good with it. I would be open to any suggestions, and don't even have to use it for the sides, just want to use it. Please give suggestions.

I used some Padauk and Lacewood to make kaleidoscopes for Christmas presents and teamed them up with some curly maple and thought it looked great. Finished them with some amber shellac and acouple coats of wipe on varnish to seal the Padauk and pop the grain on both types of wood.

There's pictures in the projects forum but I'm too dumb to know how to link to the post.
