Really nice work. The only improvement I see in one of the photos is that the edge of the wood next to the inlay on the front could be sharpened. It looks like it had been hit with the graver or chisel. This could be taken care of by putting a slight bevel on the wood edge to eliminate the bad spots.

Thanks for the comment. I will check and if there is a problem, I will fix it
