That is an interesting out of the box board! Nice job.

Very interesting inlaying process. Nice and accurately glued.

I made one complicated joints like this but not inlayed. The good thing on this process—when you clamped them, the square rods adjust the allignment of every pieces. I did not post mine as project because I am still making a box out of it. Here is the final … picture called HOUR GLASS

You can hardly see the diamonds in red narra in the center portion.

Thanks for positing. I can use your method of inlaying in some of my future projects.

Sweet. A very handsome board. Good solution to the build.

Hearafter referred to as an Arudson.

I know what you mean about grain and heartwood. It is sometimes more pronounced than others.

Very nice… I am in the middle of a similar project that I will post asap. Sort of in the same vein of a board I recently did… uses the same technique with one difference.

My cuts were the same, but I glued each ‘channel’ all in one shot (two adjacent pieces of wood with 45 degree chamfer, and the diamond strips… see third pic on project).

Anyways, there is an elegance to what you’ve got here with the minimalist contrast in color. I like it.

My new favorite board :) Very elegant. Thanks for sharing!

I do notice that to do this board you would need the chamfers on both the top and the bottom. If it were just on one side, you would only get half the number of diamonds.

Oh, well done Arudson, a new design with plenty of style…BC

Why are there no half diamonds on the edges? Did you trim those off?

bvdon, when I milled my stock I did not chamfer the outside edges of the outter most boards. Yes, there were at Walnut filled V’s at the bottom and top (as pictured) and yes, I did trim them off making the bottom and top row a bit narrower than the rest.
