I discussed this project in the thread: I've now completed the first Double Dragon project (there will be more) and decided to post a photo of the completed effort here: This is a Fiona Kingdon pattern. The foreground material is thick (about 1 inch) Spalted Maple.  The background is Zebra  Wood vereer glued to thin Baltic Birch plywood.  The whole thing was completed with three coats of a clear semi-gloss rattle-can finish.
