Zebrawood strips

Greetings,

My current project is creating large Zebrawood strips. I'm making them 16.5 x 2.5 inches. For 1 inch strips you could get 33 inches with two pieces butted together.

When they are completed I will have them scanned to a CD at Staples and post the file.

This photo is from my cheap scanner and was reduced in size for posting. The actual image is sharper than it appears here.

I plan to do at least three variations of the Zebrawood, hopefully more. If there is a particular grain pattern and color that is more desirable for Philcos I will need a close up photo. I won't be able to duplicate the pattern exactly, but I can get a closer approximation to it.

E-mail me a photo if you can.

Stewart
