Harry, she received her ring last summer. I would love to be able to put something else round in there for her just not enough money to go around these days.

Timothy...trust me, I've been married a long time to my only wife. You have to stand up to her, put your foot down. Stand your ground and always get the last word in your house...mine is "yes dear"

Really nice box. She will love it. Like Jim after 45 yrs I always get the last word in "Yes Dear." Right Jim? lol

We have a saying between the two of us..."I'm right, and you win". This works both ways of course, it works for us. "Yes Dear" is always a good fallback of course. Thanks for the comments!

I think you have created an heirloom - very nice work and a lidded box that will be treasured for generations! Thanks for sharing!
