Thank you so much, a1jim and Lightweightladylefty! It was a labor of love, for sure! And actually the first Marquetry I have done completely on my own. :-)

Dark_Lightning, Ha! They made me CRAZY! The transfer tape that I use to put marquetries together was not tacky enough, and everything kept moving. I ended up having to rubber cement down every single hexagon….AAARRRGGGHHH! I eventually got into a meditative attitude, and then it was quite peaceful, thank goodness! And, thank you!
