Summer 2014 Cube Challenge & Trade

I started with a 4 1/2" cube of black walnut with the intent of making a hollow form. As I approached my final wall thickness I had some checks appear in the end grain faces, either from the heat generated while cutting or simply from the end grain drying too suddenly when it got thin. I decided to inlay some disks of contrasting woods to cover the checks. The inlay pieces are white ash, honey locust and maple.

I like it. Nice grain on that piece of walnut. Neat way to handle the checking.

Very nice Bob, just one more thing to add to what has already been said, I like the base. I assume you simply put a very shallow curve to relieve the "feet"
