veneers

This board is very similar to the last board i made and posted on this blog, but instead this version is symmetrical. This board was also a huge step forward for me as i learned how to cut and work with veneers. The bottom is a Purpleheart and Basswood veneer i cut and laminated with the rest of the layup. i then experimented with a new kind of finish. I used a few coats of resin and some polish to get a nice shine to the board. It isnt perfect, but its a few steps in the right direction towards making beautiful finishes.
