Indian, Persian, Italian, Spanish as well as home grown boxes. These are a few from my collection from around the world, personally I find overseas boxes to have more skill involved making them because wages were far less and Brits could afford paying them months and months wages for a piece to bring back home to show off. BTW there is a English box in there but the wood is lignum vitae.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
