If it were me, I might do something from under the table as I agree with chrisstef. Dag that is a good looking inlay. I don’t think 1K would be asking too much. It is unique and beautifully done.

I don’t know about leaving it alone from an ascetic point of view. If you’re concerned about it what it would look like, I would make a couple of thin butterflies and lay them across the cracks and see how it looks.

You could epoxy some fine ebony, padauk or redwood dust, as the cracks seem to create a “sun ray” or “splash” pattern. Find turquoise dust may be nice with some black streaks for matrix.

I’m thinking epoxy as well…..wonder if you could somehow get the epoxy to an accent color to the inlay to draw the eye toward the center.

Greg, I like the idea of a black fill of those cracks. I think it would enhance a lot.
Don’t know about the price mate but don’t sell yourself short.
