Leafy Seadragon -- Sneak PreviewsteemCreated with Sketch.

in woodworking •  7 years ago 

What does Leafy Seadragon have to do with anything? It is the name I gave this project because the veneer panels I will use for the screens has a pattern that reminds me of a leafy seadragon.

Here is a real leafy sea dragon for reference.

I have twelve sheets of this walnut burl veneer, just enough to make three panels of a folding screen.

WOW! what gorgeous walnut veneer!

I have been saving it for a special project.

Absolutely beautiful material.

Thanks, wait til I put some finish on it.

that looks real good. should be a beautiful screen

Thanks. I wish I had bought more of this flitch of walnut burl when I had the chance.

That looks like some real nice burr. Nice to have the colour contrast as well.

Definitely. I tried all different sorts of layup to highlight that contrast.
