awesome dovetail box

Hey ChaoticSeven,

Been trying to figure out gifts for a few people this year and I just saw that box and was wondering if you had plans for it or just made it on a whim. Any advice on making that would be awesome.

I'm looking to start making some gifts for the holidays and was wondering what would be the best way to create a spiral in a block of wood (4"x8"). The cut would be around 1/4" deep and I'm looking to put some stone in it as an inlay. If possible I'd like it to be a pretty tight spiral that has ~2.5" diameter. Have a pretty complete workshop, would the easiest way be to create a jig and attach a piece of string to a screw in the middle and use a router?

Or more barley twist?

I was thinking more of a 2D spiral cut. Something that could be cut into a blank and filled in and polished (using azurite & malachite)
