This put a dent in the old scrap exotic pieces bucket!
They were fun to make & I think I have the small gift list covered for now.
Sanded to 220. Clear Shellac and then Bri-wax, and boy did that ever bring out the grain.
A tip of the hat to Andy as well.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Great job.
I’m always looking for ways to use the small left over pieces of exotic woods. This is a good idea and your workmanship is great.

I know the feeling Wrecker, getting something good out of scrap is rewarding. Great work mate.

Thank you all very much for your kind comments, and especially to you Andy for coming up with them.
I actually have more pieces cut but will wait until this batch is gone.
On the first few I tried to make interesting matches but as I went on, it seemed like the best ones were those that I just assembled by picking the pieces for glue-up randomly.
Ken, here are a few of close ups from some of my favorites.
Thank you again.
