Thanks for the comments.

Bob – The basic technique is stacking 3 same-size pieces of different material with double face tape to hold them. Then cut them into strips with a bandsaw (or even a jigsaw!) with a fairly fine blade. Doesn’t matter what pattern or path you use, you are essentially making a jigsaw puzzle. Once cut, you pull the taped pieces apart and shuffle the pieces into any combination of the three woods you like. With these, I shuffled the first set of pieces, glued them up and then stacked the new boards and made a second set of cuts in the opposite direction. Then shuffled the new pieces into the patterns you see in the pics.
