I've had a couple of deliveries from Kris, but not a moment to post any pictures until now. Here's the current offering of B-29 boxes:

$40 each Walnut bases with the following tops: W10: Flame Maple W11: Narra W12: Buckeye Burl W13: Buckeye Burl W14: Buckeye Burl W15: Purpleheart

Specialty boxes T1: Myrtle box with Purpleheart top T2: Myrtle box with Flame Redwood top T3: Walnut box with Coco Bolo top T4: Mahogany box with Macassar Ebony top T5: Mahogany box with Pink Ivory top $175 10th Anniversary T6: Mahogany box with Macassar Ebony top Kris reports he'll be making another delivery soon complete with more Coco Bolo tops. They proved to be much more difficult to make and finish than he anticipated. T5 is the 10th Anniversary box for his B-29 box design. He's making a limited number of these for the first time in Pink Ivory with an Ebony accent, each singed under the lid noting the 10th anniversary. There may be one or two more available.

$40 each Classic Mahogany box with the following tops: M11: Bocate M12: Purpleheart M13: Weng? M14: Zebrawood M3: Flame Maple M8: Flame Walnut M15: Quilted Maple M16: Flame Walnut M17: Bird's-eye Maple M18: Flame Walnut M19: Flame Maple M20: Purpleheart M21: Bocate M22: Purpleheart M23: Zebrawood M24: Weng? M25: Purpleheart M26: Burl Redwood M27: Buckeye Burl M28: Burl Maple M29: Burl Walnut All the B-29 boxes are about 5.5 inches long and 3 inches wide. With the lid on, they are just shy of 2 inches tall. As is the Alembic Club tradition, reservations posted on this thread are respected first (known as "dibs"). Email Valentino or me after you call dibs with contact and shipping information. We'll call you for credit card details so you won't need to email that sensitive information. I know many were interested in the Coco Bolo tops, but I've only got T3 offer this time. T4 and T6 are on hold for Eiji, who gets first choice on the Macassar Ebony ones. Eiji made his choice, so the hold is lifted (Message edited by mica on February 14, 2005)

Dibs on W15 (it's walnut with purple heart I think no??)
I think I'll surprise someone with a nice Valentine gift.
Will you please send me bank-account numbers. For the known reasons I cannot use plastic anymore.
I can send it by first class mail too.

Darn it, I was hoping I would be able to due without any of these boxes. But I can't stand it any longer! I'll take W13. I'll send email later tonight...

Mica-

You were going to save me a blue marbley-looking buckeye from the next batch. Looks like the only one left is W12, but I can't see it too well through the photo glare. If you think it matches what I was looking for, then please put it aside for me.

Thanks!
-Bob

Sorry for the oversight - that is the last Buckeye, and it isn't the bluest one from the last batch, though it's still quite blue. I bought all the Buckeye ones Kris had, and I asked him to make more in the next run. I'll keep W12 on hold for you top decide.

We've had Koa ones before, Steve. I have to take what I can get - but Chip has been saving scraps specifically for box tops, so I'm sure you'll see some nice Koa ones eventually. W11 in Narra is close in color, but of course is no substiute.

Mica, I'll take M12 (purpleheart). Thanks!
