Here is my entry for the Fall contest. End grain box from a lamination of maple, bloodwood, alowood, and cherry. Inspired by a design that was once available from Craft Supply I have been wanting to try my hand at creating a lamination like this. 4.5" tall 3.5" wide. Finish is friction polish.

[Robert McGowen]

Walnut and Curly Maple. 7.5" tall x 5" wide x .25" thick. Sanded to 600 grit and finished with 3 coats of Antique Oil.

Thank you to everyone involved in this contest and to the sponsors. RM
