    Looks like snakeskin and possibly ivory? Very attractive box.I long ago gave up trying to use the sites photo upload,I use Imgur . I tried and tried but I seem to have a mental block on theirs ! Oh,I think it might be sharkskin. They seem to be very pricey !

    Sharkskin isn't mottled like that and has a fine structure. It could be snakeskin, can you feel individual scales?

    I see that others have clicked on the link. I won't. I think that's why my photo software shut down on the other computer. I opened a bad link somewhere and it jammed up the app. I have to wait for my son to fix it.

    The error message you get when you click on one of the links says you do not have permission - which implies that Jared has changed his privacy setting on his album. The pictures were definitely there when I first opened this thread shortly after it was started.
