Square Dance Kumiko
After making the Asa-No-Ha pattern (one of the toughest to do well, made many rejected parts), I made this one. It was a lot less painful to make. I'm thinking of making it into part of the door for a "medicine cabinet", with glass in front and a mirror in the back.

nice job on that. i like the design.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Intense! Lots of tiny bits to deal with. Would look great as a door insert!

Thanks, guys! Splint, there are only 6 pieces inside each square cell. Way easier than the Asa-No-Ho.

Great job. Occasionally I've thought of trying my hand at it. But then it's - 'what do you put it in'? Your cabinet idea sounds good, at least with a glass covering it will prevent the dust building up.
Cabinet insert for sure. Nicely done.

That looks great, and the idea for using it a cabinet is wonderful. Did not realize the Asa-No-Ha was so difficult, it the first one listed in the book I have gone through on the subject, though it would be easy.

So they are half laps?
Describing "difficult" makes Asa-No-Ho sound like what a Japanese artist would mutter while peeling glue of their fingers.

On my to do list but it is long and I am not getting any younger.
This looks pretty nice. The practice must have done it’s magic.

Madburg- dust, indeed, thus my option.
Eric, Splint, it's not "difficult", it's just that if you don't hold the chisel and the wood just right, the part is no good, since all that stuff is an interference fit, and isn't supposed to take any glue.
Yes, this one uses half-laps, and one can gang-cut them on the table saw with the right jig. Not quite the calm, relaxing tool experience, that. I sanded the sticks in my drum sander to match the thickness of my flat-top blade, killing two birds with one stone.
Paul, it'll be cake for you. Given the amount of incredible marquetry you do, you've already the practice you need, if you think about it.

Nice job on the pattern and a good idea on how to put it to use. It will be interesting to see the final piece.
Thanks, but I take no credit for the pattern; it exists from elsewhen. I'm going to get to it soon, before it gets trashed in my garage. Don't quite know where I'd hang it though, since the wife has an antique towel cabinet (which, of course, I hung) in the master bath for use as a medicine cabinet.

A beautiful piece of art.
Thanks!

Beautifully done!
Very nice work. Besides a door can put it in a table top under glass. It will look good any place you decide to incorporate it
Thanks, folks!
