This is my first attempt at this sand shading. ~ Be Gentle.
This link Teak Platter with Rose Inlay is a slide show progression of this piece, with a few captions.
It still needs some finish, here it is wiped down with thinner. Trying to decide what kind of finish to use, any suggestions?
I like Poly, and I thin it down when applying to Teak because of all the oil in Teak, but I’m thinking several coats of poly will yellow the Holly. hmm??
Woods; Teak, Holly, Rosewood. 14” Dia.
Thanks for looking!

Nice.
I think the inlay and shading look great. Good job.
I don’t know what to recommend for a finish.

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

For a first attempt at sand shading, that is a very nice job. Are you using commercial veneer or shop cut?
I like your home made inlay router as well it’s a lot like mine. ... so much better than a big clumsy router, even a trim router.
Well done.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Paul; the veneer is shop cut and the dremel router base works great, just wish that the eyes were years younger. Thank you for the “well done” from the Master, you are truly an inspiration.

Beautifully done, Nick!
Milo, sand shading is the process of using heated sand to burn the areas you want to appear shaded.
