When Wild Cats Go Bad

[hewunch]

I got a bar of Bengal from Exotic Blanks a while back. Drilled it and tubed it probably 2 months ago. Finally got around to turning it yesterday. While squaring the tubes I blew out the top part big time, and hated to throw it all away so I came up with this solution. The black rings are A. Blackwood. The bands between are pieces from a slice of the bar that I made before I cut up the other blanks. Comments welcome.

Great solution. The bands just add to how it looks. You know all cats have different "stripe" patterns on them in different spots on their bodies.

Nice solution!!

With the "tiger" in between, it looks good!
(I wouldn't have thought of that solution, but I like it!!)
