John will take 49, I will pay for the other one. See how easy that is? When can you ship?

I have some purfling basically done. Two strips of herringbone, one not yet scraped, and two strips of wheat, neither of which are yet scraped and sized.
I used the fish glue on the wheat....man that is some sticky stuff, but it seemed to work well. Already I see if you put a little water on the fish glue, it immediately gets sticky again, so keep the water away from your dry glued up parts.
I have 3 or 4 more slices I can make up into more. I have my veneers for the mosaic tiles, so that will be the next part of the project.

I came up with this design for my rosette mosaic ring. Hopefully I'll start gluing up veneers this weekend toward making a log from which to saw off the mosaic tiles.
Wood colors will be wenge, walnut, bloodwood, maple and holly for the back ground.
