Or Crazy Mary meets Lazy Larry
16” x 11.5” x .75
Lyptus and Sapele weave
Hickory accents
Finished with mineral oil
A huge thanks to Larry (degoose) for the design idea and all else that you so generously contribute to this site. You are the essence of what it is best about being an LJ.
Just a couple of months ago, I would have said making this board was impossible, way beyond my skill level. But LumberJocks is a magical place. It is almost unbelievable how much my knowledge, skills, and confidence has grown as a direct result of the time I have spent on this site. This project was a challenge for me, but it turned out to be a really fun one. Dustbunny’s (aka Lisa, aka Xena) encouragement and tips along the way gave my confidence a boost and helped me get it right.
Now that I know I can make precision cuts and glue up a lot of pieces of wood at one time without going into a full-blown panic attack, I think I am ready to tackle some serious segmented turning. I also have about a dozen different board designs that have popped into my head to try…
So many projects to look forward to and friends like you to share them with makes Mary Anne a happy LJ.

You seriously ROCK… heck of a job and I would never have thought of using the main weave timber as the second accent… and two different timbers for the weave.. this is so fantastic… I am really pleased that you have tried this… and succeeded beyond all expectations….This has to be an all time best board….

Wow!!!
I have to admit.. I’ve been too intimidated to try anything like this. But if a lady plumber with a coon on her head can do something like this, maybe there is hope for me!

Crazy Mary, nah just a little eccentric (and you wear it well). What is crazy is the result you got on this board, it is totally awesome!
