Awesome! I really like the warmth of these reds for the borders over the darker ones. Don't get me wrong, the darker ones work in some combinations, but these warm reds (almost looking like a red wood) really give lend to its pop. Such a beautiful moss too. Thanks for sharing with us.

Fabulous intarsias Dan, but what really popped my cork was that 1st Ochoco! Wow what a fantastic cab, especially when backlit!

Dan you are intarsia Master:) The first one is show stopper but the second one is pure mystery and magic. Wonderful color combo. It does look like an exotic rare red wood. Very sharp.

That is screensaver material. The kind of work that pulls you in and makes you wish you had a 50" monitor. What size are the intarsia cabs?
