Popular Post Ken O Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I participated in the ornament exchange at work. Last minute thing for me this year. So I knocked this out last night. The lady its for likes gothic style stuff so I picked a picture off the internet and went to town. I'm not sure what wood this is. It's an orange/red color and pretty hard. About 3/4 inch thick, 6.5 inches long x 4 inches wide. Turned out good. Been a while since I've been on the saw, other projects are taking all my time. No clear, no stain, just a light sanding with 320 on the top and bottom. Foxfold, dgman, Dave Monk and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 That’s a beauty for sure! She will definitely love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McDonald Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 The patterns look like lacewood. Never worked it that thick--always 1/4" or less. It is hard, but beautiful when cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Very pretty! I am sure that it will be well liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken O Posted December 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Thanks everyone! I think it's Paduk. It went over very well. She asked if I made it and I said "Yep, last night!" meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Leopard wood for the base of this clock. Edited December 20, 2019 by flarud Dave Monk and Wilson142 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 That is a beautiful cross and the wood is perfect. Gives it an old rusty look to me. I agree with lace wood or leopard wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Very well done. I also think Lacewood. I used Lacewood on several intarsia projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken O Posted December 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I need to get a picture of the scrap piece that's left. I'm 95% sure it's Paduk, not Lacewood. The piece is deceiving because there isn't much top grain to look at and the end grain looks exactly like the bottom 2 pictures in my example here of Paduk with the little holes/dots in the endgrain. BUT I am NOT an expert on some of these more exotic hardwoods so you may be correct. I am curious but it doesn't really matter, I'm happy with it, she loves it and it came out great other than the oops on the back that nobody needs to know about. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
