Well, here's another ZIA top to a box I made. I bought some of the "liquid inlay" at the last WW show in the L A area and this was my first attempt at using it.
Didn't turn out so hot ! there was too much "bleed out". It doesn't show up too much in the photo, but to the naked eye, it is obvious. Well at least to mine, I have a hunch she won't notice it, nor that the "rays" of the sun are not all symmetrical.
The top was sanded to 1000, Danish, then a few coats of spray on Poly. Has a nice shine. The box was made of nice walnut just 2 coats of Danish, then some wax.
The interior has a bottom of aromatic cedar with Walnut dividers. The sides of the interior are lined with some nice curly maple. I had to add them because as I was cutting the miters, the saw slipped and I cut into the interior side :+( :mad::mad:
Comments and criticisms always are welcomed
