Russ, it is my design I have a few more i will post soon. Travis i started using multiple types of wood when i made a hummingbird puzzle i had found in a magazine. The magazine showed it cut from cherry i think but my first thought when i saw it was to make it from different types of wood so i did. Little did i realize how much of a difference having all the different colors would make. I went to a few craft shows over this past silly season with that hummingbird puzzle and i couldnt keep the thing on my table. One guy bought 3 of them lol...pic of one is attached...i have since changed them even more...mixing in poplar, zebrawood, purple heart, pauduk, ash, birds eye maple...whatever im feeling at the time...enjoy !
