Shou Sogi Ban is an old Japanese technique of burning and brushing the wood to get a 3D effect on the wood grain. I used it on this stand I built. The close up in black is of a shoji screen I made using this technique.

A long while ago, I purchased two blocks of this really rare rosewood burl, the rarest actually, Amboyna rosewood burl. Gorgeous color and very hard to find as well as Been saving it until the right stone could be matched with it. I knew this brecciated jasper was the first one when I saw it!!!!
