This video, Building the Red Diamond Jewelry Box, is not only a visual pleasure, but has a bunch of useful ideas about wood texture, video storytelling, how to keep small parts together [caveat: he uses a non-laser-safe product], and keep glue off the project as parts are brought together.
There’s an even better one where he uses his new Glowforge to make marquetry, Laser Marquetry Box with Glowforge. More great ideas with veneer.
