Ebony and Ivory

I made this piece as a prototype, not knowing whether I could accomplish it or not. The wood is from an old cedar deck post. I if I knew I was gonna be successful I would've used nicer wood. It measures five and a half inches wide by four inches deep and about three inches tall. The wings are about an eighth of an inch thick.
I used my laser to cut the designs in the corners. The handle on the top, has an insert made out of ebony and ivory. The ivory came from the keys on an old piano. I finished it with shellac and then sprayed clear lacquer over that.
