I made this inlay but am unsure what to do with it.
I was thinking maybe a coffee table or a hope chest lid ?
Any Ideas?

A blanket or hope chest would be nice.

It could be a back on a hall bench, seat. Seeing it leaned against your Jet saw I guess about 4’ X 2.5’ or so.

I think it would make a great looking top for a writing desk or library table.

Beautiful design and great craftsmanship.
I’d go with the coffee table as well (from
the apparent dimensions), but would care-
filly consider how to best protect it before
proceeding. I say this only because our
coffee tables get some serious abuse.

Coffee table with natural stain followed by “mirror coat” 2 part sealer would be a nice way to finish it.

Whatever you do with it – it’s sure to be a beautiful piece. Nice work. I like the coffee table idea also.

I like the idea of framing it in the back of a bench. It would look great. Like Bill said, whatever you do, it a beautiful piece.

You could give it to me! LOL!

I like the ideas of incorporating it into a table top somehow. Whatever, it needs to be displayed in clear view.

Not knowing the dimensions adds to the quandry. Remember, attaching it to something, means that the something has to be unobtrusive enough not to overwhelm and take away from the piece. Sometimes art is just art and The best place for this piece is horizontal on the wall over your sofa or in the den
