For Ghislaine and Donald

When I had my old shop up and running and before we started our big "Searsville Project" I made a box and a bike for our friends who, then lived in Halifax, and since moved to Saint Jean. I had them completed for a while (a year and a half) but with the traveling for work he did it was hard to get together, so on their way to Saint Jean Ghislaine and Don stopped in for a quick visit and I had a chance to surprise them. The bike is made from several woods, maple, oak and purple heart, it is designed after Don's bike, in a fashion. Ghislaine's box is Birdseye maple with mahogany inlaid strips. I make the top and the bottom drawer sliders and tried to make the drawer as a secrete compartment, it fits in just at the bottom inlay line, hiding the joint.
