This isn't a project yet but will have to be at some point. In my last batch of Walnut last week I found a few nuggets and culled them for special projects yet to come but they were too pretty not to share here. There were three of them and I resawed the lesser of the group to get my settings right, put some Naphtha on to get a good look, and set them aside. Today I needed the big bandsaw for something else so I cut the other two pieces while the fence was still set.
Here are the three pieces before cutting -

And the lesser of the three, the one on the left, cut and bookmatched -

These are the two pieces I cut today, no Naphtha and straight off the bandsaw -

I'm not sure what I'll build with these - end table, serving trays, small coffee table, wall art - just not sure yet. The two larger pieces will make a panel about 16" x 28" and the smaller one about 16" x 24". The pieces are about 0.200" thick now and will finish out after sanding somewhere around 0.165" - 0.175".
Enjoy!
