Fantastic marquetry cutting Bob. Great selection of veneers and other media. I really like the splashes of blue, especially in the top to emphasize the wave. I have looked at Hokusai’s prints, and the are on my list of future works I would like to attempt.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Really a great work…could you please tell us how many hours you put into it and what kind of finish if any you used…thanks.

Really nice Bob.
You have made absolutely perfect veneer and grain choices and your cutting is of course first class.
I’m a Hokusai fan too and have a couple of prints on my walls. You have created a fine tribute here and I thank you for sharing it with us and inspiring our future marquetry pursuits.
