something different for me
#11
Some of you may remember a while back I was looking for tru-stone blocks. I didn't have any luck but I did find enough for this experiment. First time for me incorporating alternative materials in my segmented pieces. It was also the first time using veneers. That learning curve was ALOT steeper than I ever imagined. Anyway, her it is...about 12" tall, jatoba, bloodwood, maple and tru-stone with black veneer. All comments and critiques appreciated.

WOW! Beautiful piece. I'd said your experiment was very successful!

Thanks for sharing!
If you continue to cut corners, you'll end up going in circles!

It's my thumb so I'll hit it if I want to!

Truly awesome!
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
