Piece #279 – Magnolia & Calcite – 11.5″ dia x 2.5″ – Sold
This 12 inch platter has a cardinal sitting on a bare twig inlay made of calcite. The inlay process is the same I used on piece #258 – Magnolia with Calcite Inlay.
Here is the carved out design. 
Next I painted the bottom of the carved out part the appropriate color. 
Placing the dyed calcite comes next.
After gluing, sanding and polishing the inlay is complete.
