I think we all have read and seen some of the projects and tutorials that Mike Henderson has made in veneer.
So recently I decided to try to make the sand shaded fan and compass rose that Mike has made tutorials about. Here are my results:

These were my first attempts at the projects. I do have some experience with veneering but with Mike’s tutorials it made it a lot easier to produce these small parquetry projects. I would encourage anyone that thinks this type of project is too difficult or beyond their skill level to try it. It’s not really that hard especially with Mikes help. :cool:
Good Luck and thanks again for makeing the tutorials Mike!
