One of my closest friends occasionally makes these wallets for friends, generally with a design that captures one of their core beliefs. This is mine. (I can't embed the photos directly, unfortunately.) Glenn CNC-milled the wallet from bubinga, then my decision-tree design was lasercut out of purpleheart and inlaid, along with hand-cut silver arrows. The rose-cut Brazilian rhodolite garnet is also my own design and monogram, since the faceting design incorporates my initials. He said getting the fit just right took an hour and a half of carefully shaving a little wood away at a time. The appearance changes dramatically depending on the lighting conditions; it's super cool.
