Thanks for sharing. Think the polka dot fairburn is the best - nice tight joins.

Wonderful designs and I love the way you are making different angles and shapes and putting different stones together. It makes them look textured even when flat. I hope you realized the great potential you got in intarsia:) That last one would make an awesome suit pin. Almost Art Deco/Frank Lloyd Wright looking:)

The last 4 look the best. Keep up the great work, I'm sure these are not easy.

I agree with Randy, those last three are super. How long does it take you to core the laminated slab for get the piece in the last pic? Then you Vibe it? Karock

You're getting pretty elaborate with your inlays, those are true intarsia. The last one really captured my attention. So simple yet so cool, what a great idea.
