Default Fretwork Scripture
I made this a while back and gave it to my mother-in-law for Christmas a couple years ago. I made the mistake of doing the detail on top and bottom of dark wood. I also used paduak to try and contrast the dark wood. Silly me, paduak gets really dark with time. Now you can hardly see all the detail I cut into it

Yea.... Echo that! That's one beautiful piece. I gotta ask... Did your Mother-in-law get weepy when you gave it to her? Absolutely lovely!!
