Nice job, I like it. Thanks for posting. Did you have a hard time cutting something that thick?  8)

Really neat. I have a couple pieces of that type of wood, but have not found a pattern I have wanted to cut yet. You have inspired me to find something soon.

Thanks

I have sliced lilac.  It has very nice rings and coloring. But I was afraid to cut anythin for fear of cracking. Gonna give that a try. Thanks Jimbo
