Approximately 20″ square this marquetry wall plaque is made of black walnut, white oak, cherry, butternut and hard maple. 1″ wide strips of wood are glued up, then cut at 45-degrees. Half the pieces are flipped over to create the pattern, then glued up with offset and overhanging edge pieces trimmed off (which I later used to make the 3 small stars above the frame).
