Old Joe Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) So, I acquired a pretty nice piece of Ziricote, 1/2" thick, 3 3/4" wide, 23" long. Looking for suggestions. I am thinking about making another vase, but I don't think I want to do any fret work in it because the grain is so cool. But it's cool and rich on both sides. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe Edited June 20, 2016 by Old Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Looks like you have an alligator in the wood grain Joe it will be interesting no matter what you decide to make from it. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. DW Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I didn't see the gator at first either, but now I do and it looks like he spit out the ear of the person he ate!! That is a pretty piece of wood.. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Now that is a pretty piece of wood. No matter what it ends up as, it will be very interesting. Please keep all of us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 the shape of the board would lend it to a hand saw but finding a pattern that would leave most of the wood intact would be a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Joe, I know what you can do with it, stick a address label on it and send it my way. Len Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board looks trapezoid in the pic, but it is a 3 1/2 x 23 rectangle. Edited June 21, 2016 by Old Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be_O_Be Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Maybe you could leave the piece intact and make it the front of a vase similar to this: BudVase.pdf Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdatelle Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I have to agree with Bob. A vase would look great with that design on the front of it. Maybe you can enlarge the pattern so you can get the whole design in it. Good luck. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
