Wonderful work all.  The last one with Humming birds looks very intricate.

I find it hard to do repeating patterns like these.  Recenlty finished some Dream Catchers that had disks with a repeating pattern.  I managed and they don't look too bad, but not quite as neat and perfect as yours.

Any chance you could elaborate with some details like: Wood used?, Size? Blades used? etc.  Did you count the number of holes in the Humming Bird disk....looks like a lot.

from the top pic - 

Walnut 1/4"

next 2 - Mahogany 1/4"

Padauk 1/4"

Cherry 3/8".  ( the table it is on is Cherry that was purchased in the early 1970's   It was almost that dark when I bought it. Have not been able to find Cherry like that in 20+ years.)

Pegas #3 MG blades for all except a 2/0 skip for some of the tiny holes in the bottom one.

I did not count the holes in the bottom one - think I might find that somewhat depressing.
