The second picture shows a panel that I'm working on now. I cut it out at the same time as I cut the design for the first panel posted. The field is a radial match of walnut burl. I cut that in half and aligned it with the other half, then put those pieces into the packet with enough colored veneer to make three designs. I sand shaded all the pieces at the same time, then assembled them into the field pieces. Finally, I took the two half radials of walnut burl and put them back together into a single full radial.
Wow the radial walnut burl is amazing! I agree I couldn't see using that as a table, I'd be afraid of damaging it.
Speaking of which.. what are you planning to do to protect the top?
