I glued Brazilian Cherry and Cherry together in strips, sanded and cut them to equal lengths with a 30deg. cut on the ends. Also cut some into triangles.
Took them in the house for me and my wife to play with before coming up with the one we glued up.
Finish sanded to 180 grit.
Sharing with you the other examples, Feel free to make one.
I will not apply a finish until I know what to do with it.

What fun. That is really cool. The color choice is also spot on.
You must have a really nice miter sled. That is some fine cutting.
Good job, it will be cool to see it all oiled up,

Home made sled like other have shown on this site.
Two rails attached to to a Flat board.
Slid it down the saw and measured the angle off of the cut center.
Screwed down a guide and got busy with it.

What a great design John! And it’s amazing to me how many different designs can be made from the same cuts. I definitely have to try something like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
You didn’t tell us what it will be used for.

The pattern in the second picture is really interesting! Looks to me like they are art pieces. Just hang them on the wall!

Yikes, I went crazy deciding what to do with just the triangles… you added a whole new dimension (dementia?) by adding the parallelograms. Fun, fun, fun! They are all good looking designs.
Have your say...
