I hope you don't mind being taken along on my web hunt. (I don't know what I'm looking for, but there sure is some interesting things out there.

Here are some really cool robot toys that use that Yosegi technique.

just let me grab my pith helmet

Wonderful stuff, thanks tea lady

I bought a puzzle box like the ones in the top photo in Hakone, They had some bigger ones, as well as some furniture (over)done the same way. Daughter bought an amazing intarsia dragon there.
There is a stretch of shops all selling Hakone ware (like the boxes) and intarsia.

Now I want one of those special planes to make the thin venneers!!!



Prolly only take me 20 years to master.

Over done like this one?

Do you reckon this would do? Its 150mm wide. Only slightly less than $2000US.
