On Tuesday I got a chance to see the completed flag case. It looks amazing. Once Pete glued everything together and sanded it down, the inlays are seamless. I couldn’t believe it. The finish is so smooth that it looks like the dark wood inlays aren’t inlays at all — it looks like the text and the ship were printed on the light wood.

The family gathered this weekend for a wedding, so Pete was able to deliver the case to his grandmother. They inserted the flag and sent this picture:
I’m so pleased with how this turned out. I’m looking forward to experimenting with more wood in the future.
