    African Ribbon Stripe Mahogany & Curly Maple SUN TRAY

    Hello once again everyone here's another piece I did this time it's African Ribbon Stripe Mahogany & Curly Maple. All my projects are hand done w/ out CNC or computer figured layouts. This "SUN TRAY" is 11" D 1 1/2" deep; the sun inlay is 1/4" thick.

    Nice job. That's a great effect. How long does it take to do something like that by hand?
    When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.

    So bright and shiny it jiggles. It's OP ART by Op Bruce.

    Thank you very much William, If I remember correctly I did the in laying of the sun in a afternoon; I had turned the tray and cut out the sun the day before. Here's a few shots of the work being done.

    Thank you so much Mel and Brian for your kind words; I had this piece in a gallery for over 6 months but it never sold.

    Could have been the $4,000,000 price. Next time try $400,000.

    Thank you very much Mark ...Brian you wouldn't believe how low I had the price for a piece like this and it didn't sell, think I'll just keep it for the house.

    Beautifully done and I like the contrast of the two woods.

    Really cool! Thanks for the pics on your hand routing of the inlay too, I would have sworn that was a CNC.
