I made this laminated sea turtle for a lady out of some pieces of leftover riser woods: yellow heart, purple heart, bloodwood, cocobolo, kingwood, ebony, walnut, bocote, and a couple of others. It took me over a year to make and it has over 580 pieces. Each angle is 60 degrees except the belly parts. Titebond III throughout. Only natural wood colors--no dyes. My design. Won't try it again. It interferes with my bowmaking!

WOW impressive for sure! But it looks like to me that one of those angles is 59 and the other is 61???? :biglaugh:
