    A new piece from Birch with a Sapele insert.

    Just finished this vessel where the body is made of Birch and the insert ring made from what I think is a piece of Sapele. Finished with 6 coats of finishing oil and then buffed.

    27mm clock insert.

    I wanted a small lidded box but a catch put an end to that. So it turned into a small holder for the clock insert. Time - YouTube
