Two intarsia (inlay) cats in ash and sapele, painstakingly laser cut after a wonderful class by @nicksilva. The outer edges of the backing are also veneered. All the veneer edges around the perimeter, including the lamella (top), were beveled for a seamless looking border.
@coloneldan - please thank your friends at Gulfstream for the generous veneer donations.

A few more knife handles. No idea how, but the tip broke off the chefs knife. Anyone out here able to help grind it back into a point? That’s beyond my skill level.
Not part of my veneered ornaments, but just wanted to experiment to see if I could engrave on some 10 mil wood veneer without burning it up. I see some real possibilities with this. Guess I’ll have to incorporate that into the class too. Cheers!
