I too instantly noticed how nice the mitered purflings are. Bravo!
Wonderful execution.

Huh? His rosette looks great! I zoomed in and didn't see any flaws...and if you are talking about the shell isn't centered in the wood ring.....well, that's right, it is a design innovation!

made some progress on the top with some abalone. I've only scraped down a small area to see how it looks. So far not too bad.
