Here is marquetry simple for my teaching classes.
There is a reason for gaps so do not mind it please.
Take a look at the wood which I used for the leaf of the tulip.
Greenish color and have some strips on it, can you tell me what type of wood is this?
I am really curious how many of you can recognize it, because it is rather common wood in woodworking but has not been widely used for marquetry, I choose it for the texture and was surprised about the result.
Looking forward to hear your opinions :)

Absolutely gorgeous! Your talent blows me away.
Is it lignum vitae? If so that had to have been interesting to deal with, being so hard.
Take can and thanks for sharing

If it has streaks of green…it’s poplar! Nice piece! As they say in London “mind the gap!” I don’t mind them.
