A 75th Birthday Gift for a gentleman who has contributed so much to the life of many people, has been presented with a Memory Box from “man’s best friend”. A faithful Lurcher rescued by his hero commissioned (with a little help of course) a pictorial biography in exquisite marquetry, to keep safe his master's wonderful memories and mementos of glorious days of national pride in the winning of an Olympic Medal for Bob Sleigh, an illustrious political and military career and a love for India and its cuisine. A commitment for the safety of mariners and a beloved yacht complete the exterior. The interior acknowledges a love for all sports and the lift out tray having a Special Things compartment with a lid that is decorated with the Grenadier Guards emblem

All is created in a fusion of amazing timbers including quilted Tamo, dyed Lime, figured Lace wood, Cherry and Birds Eye Maple, Burr Tiger Brown Oak, Sycamore and Arctic Movingui. The top of the box is crowned with a cast brass porthole picture frame, which has a portrait of the Lurcher himself.
