Thomas Brennan's work is a melding or art and science: Precise measurements and intricate toolwork are necessary for him to interpret his designs in the surfaces of the wooden boxes he creates. This inlaid wooden jewelry box incorporates a classic Cape Cod theme. The actual structure of the box is poplar and birch plywood. Inlays are narra, holly, padonk and maple while the veneer is walnut
