Marquetry detail

Hi Guys,

Getting married in August. Need to have this box finished by then...

Seriously, thank you all for your suggestions. I'll see what I can do about working them in.

...and so, without further ado, let me present what I actually will do on the lid of the box. Everything but the nautical rose is a photograph of the wood that’ll be used. The Rose will be made up of some nice contrasting woods of some description and I’ll inlay a gem into the centre, just to give it a bit more textural appeal.

Does anyone have any objection?

I'm quite happy to do a 3D cube design if you'd prefer. It's easy enough.

As long as I can do it in colour. Monotones get boring fast.

Here's a suggestion for a gem for the center. Aren't opals quite popular in Australia? It might look quite nice and would have some local 'flavor'.
