Sample Development.2

Finally some sample development of intended veneer species. This is figured Movingue, also known as African Satinwood. This is a photo of a 12x18 sample, with clear satin finish. Also looking at producing gloss topcoat, to enhance the "depth" of the figure.

This is a closer view, showing the quarter-sliced grain, the mottled/curly figure, and the openness of the pores. Nature is striking!

Below are sketches of the second piece underway. Colored image indicates location of this veneer. Alternating grain direction intended. Detailed sketches below. Seventh form the top indicates intention.
