Turitella

Marquetry, faux and otherwise pleases my eye and while I have been planning to refinish an antique mahogany drop leaf table with a beautiful two color pattern done in stains.

I am suddenly interested in a highly lacquered look.  Maybe the Aurastone influence?  Until I can manage to get myself to a class in that particular medium, I am opting for a Modello on a four foot round table with a high sheen finish that is a turitella fossil image. But both designs are happening and I am looking forward to getting myself creatively working again. What's not to like?
