The outer rings wern't as tight as I would like them to be, for a first effort I'm satisfied. The rose is made from sand shaded popular veneer peices then inlaid. Thanks for the kudos, inspires me to do more similar work. Google Dave Peck and look at some of his work, he lives down the road from me. Took a class from him.
One way we sort of "cheat" when doing colour stripes in bow handles........lets say its a dark'ish wood(Bubinga) as the major pc,when doing a Maple colour stripe....say an 1/8",we'll put in a Black 1/16" pc on both sides of it.We're usin epoxy,and even though its sorta clear....when glued up it'll always apear Black(its the depth).So by using Black "backup" stripes,the glue lines just disapear.BW
You did such wonderful work here, the Marquetry added so much to your project....two thumbs up!!
