Took me forever to complete but I’m quite proud of this one. Mahogany and bird’s eye maple with 4 way bookmatched top, symmetrical dragons in marquetry. Another contract for Jan Bulis of Montreal Canadiens. 2001.

Just wow! I don’t dare show this to my wife, because she’d be very disappointed I can’t do anything like this (yet ;)). Very nice!

I notice that you have pins in the miters…..Is there a spline in there? Any details on that joinery?
Cheers!
