Very nice, and parquetry too.

Flash.

Spalted looks amazing, and spalted can look quite dull in a lot of instances, but then you get a bit and its 'spalting' is just incredibly well pronounced.

Triton! Parquetry! Are you saying my objet d'art is floored?

How about doing a step by step for those of us who are new to turning and aspire to be able to do something like this?

Hi Richard. Do you mean the box or the platter?

Either but the box would be most interesting to me.

Louis cubes are Parquetry indeed. I understand it still comes under the title of Marquetry.

"floored" lol very good.

I love the louis cube effect, always wanted to use it in something myself,

No sense in me re-inventing the wheel. I took my instructions from Chas Jones' ( CHJ of this manor) superb tutorial and followed that. I recommend them, and acknowledgments to Chas who did all the hard work. Have a ganders at the following:-
