The top two were my first attempts awhile back, put them in to show improvement (I hope).

The 3 on the right look better than the other 2. It just takes time to perfect your technique. You should see some of my first cabs.

I left a bezel on the other two, thinking I might mount them in something. I wish I could do some more but it had been pretty cold and grandma has been sick so hard to be in the garage. She got a good dose of pain meds a little while ago so maybe I can slip out there for a hour later.

I have a red,white,yellow,black and blue piece of pet wood that fractured when cutting, that has been nagging at me. I think I have a pattern figured out, but it will be different.

Thanks for the help
