Description
This is the last of the four boxes in the Havana's series by Eric Fuller. Named after a cigar bar Eric frequented, the idea was to make a series of progressively more difficult boxes that could each hold a cigar. Each box is named after an employee. This one is named for Bruce, a bartender.

From the maker, "I brought the appearance of the box full circle to the first one, with the slight difference that the veneer runs a different direction.

I promised that the boxes would be increasingly difficult, and the #4 lives up to that. The goal is of course to set the cigar free. While simple in appearance, there's a lot going on inside. There are at least five discoveries involved in finding the solution, and each builds upon the next. This is a very difficult box."

Woods used are: quartersawn sapele
