Zetas in blackwood, yew (x2) and a 2 tone dyed ripple sycamore. The blackwood is dark, but has some subtle grain that the photograph doesn't show.

Slightly disappointed with the finish, it is CA and BLO, a dozen coats, but seems to have lost its gloss over the last couple of weeks. May just need a buff up. Any ideas?

That is my favourite too- I have some more of the timber to cut blanks on, so am going to explore some different colours.
