I think the balsa was a great choice, the light colouring will look great on a desk. Sure, the more figured timbers will look spectacular but I like how understated this piece is.
Again, well done.
Thanks, man. I appreciate the comments.
After all of the encouragement, I can't wait to get the next one under way. It will have a QLD Maple body and Zebrawood lid and base section. A different design to the last one, and without horns, but still pretty simple. I'm just cutting out the piece of Zebrawood for the lid now. It's solid stuff to cut with a handsaw. Doing it in 2-minute bursts with a breather in between.
