Thanks, Dion!

Breaking away from the back for a moment, we'll show a bit more top work. Steve and I discussed a number of options for the rosette, finally settling on an attractive piece of Koa. This piece came from Bruce Creps shop, who will be a vendor at the La Conner show.

Work started with gluing the bookmatched slices together, then cutting a donut-like ring out of the blank:

A precise donut-like trench is routed in that lovely top. And at this point, we were relieved to have the Cochran router base on hand:

Next, the Koa ring is clamped in its new home utilizing the genius of the Druids--Brickhenge:

When dry, the ring is flush-sanded to the top's surface:

More in a minute,
Steve
