I like it- you've got some unusual things going on there; I'd also like to see lots more pics.

Nothing fancy there to be honest... the light colored line between the padouk and the walnut is what I think they call sapwood.

The two pieces are 1 inch cherry and 3/4 in padouk glues one over the other.

Maybe this picture will make you see what my french to english translator can't explain....
