This is a plaque I made for my daughters birthday. She found this
symbol that is supposed to represent her astrological sign; Libra.
Personally I don't see it but it's what she wanted and I think it
turned out well. The wood is walnut and maple.

How is the walnut attached to the maple?

And how did you do that nice little detail of the three pieces overlaying
each other in the middle?

Looks nice. I am sure she will be happy.

Very impressive. I would love to do that for my two daughters, but wouldn't
know where to start on the walnut astrological sign.

Well done ... something your daughter will cherish, guaranteed!

The walnut is just glued on. The 3 pieces that overlap was a bit of a
trick. Each of the joints has a 1/2 lap. I had to figure out where they
met and weave them together as they were going down. The really hard
part was keeping them together with glue on 'em!

Very nice woodwork. Added benefit is that probably none of us know if if is
properly proportioned.

"A bit of a trick", indeed!

That is a REALLY nice piece of work.
