This is an 0.5mm thick veneer compass rose made from maple and wengé.
glue ‘on’ top of a teak veneered board and then I created a smooth equal surface using a generous layer of epoxy.

that’s interesting how you glued it on top of it then epoxied it flat. How difficult is it to make the epoxy smooth and flat? Seems like it would take a lot of epoxy and time too. Looks great, I wouldn’t have even known it wasn’t inlayed in.

I know marine epoxy tends to be thick, but how did you get it smooth?

@Jon3:
“I know marine epoxy tends to be thick, but how did you get it smooth?”
First of al I added some epoxy thinner to help it ‘flow’.
Then, once the star was completly covert I sanded it back to a dead flat surface using a stationary wide-belt-sanding-machine. http://www.irsauctions.com/misc/steelcase/heesemann.jpg
