I don't chat much about it but, I'm just coming off limited duty due to some medical fun and games (the boards from my lumber run last December are still setting on my bench). Easing back into things (still limited on lifting) I thought to catch up on some small stuff. Picture frames can keep you occupied.
I've got some maple 'filed' in the figured section of the plank sanctum but, it doesn't look like much from the outside.

I rough cut some smaller blanks so I don't have to lift a lot to get it resawn.

There is some decent stuff hiding inside.

I also rip some thin face-side stock for the inlay.

For small items I can often use up stock that is leftover from some larger piece. Here I laminate some long thin walnut spoil to eventually make the outer frame stock.

I lay the birdseye strips into the top groove you see in the pic above with glue and clamp them face to face divided by waxed paper overnight.
