Taking wood to work

My latest project was a recreation of a wooden laptop case, construction was the same, I just made a few material changes. The sides are curly maple the top and bottom are panels of birdseye maple, rather than use plywood. I used walnut with purple heart for the corner splines and inserts, instead of maple with cheery, I like the way they stand out. It was a fun project and a little challenging as I have not had to make dado cuts on the corners before, and with a homemade jig for the table saw, they came out great, better then my nerves were when I started.
