Star of David

I made this as a gift for a friend. I cut it from Baltic Birch, and put a Padauk edge around it.

Thanks all! I cut the star from 1/2" baltic birch, then I cut up strips of padauk 9/16 x 1/4, Cut angles for the corners, then just glued it all together. Sanded it all flush. Then sprayed clear polycrylic on it

Great job.  You did a great job on all those angles.
