Blank

I did cut the blank myself on my miter saw using a 45 degree angle. It was a little tricky with the small pieces especially since ebony is so hard to sand and get even thin strips. There are mistakes but it was my first one and I learned a lot.

Your right. It is not my first time working with wood. I have been doing woodworking for about ten years. Mostly custom plaques, shadow boxes and some intarsia work.

"intarsia"......an elaborate form of marquetry using inlays in wood, esp. as practiced in 15th-century Italy.
• similar inlaid work in stone, metal, or glass.


........very nicely done!.......Be well.....Jan
