Company Name: Just Wood Custom Millwork, Inc.These are some examples of some small tables that we make for Gallery sale. The patterns and techniques are applicable to larger applications such as dining and conference tables, panels or what have you. Larger items are just made on a custom order basis.
All pieces are cut and fit by hand (no laser) because batch cutting cannot keep grain orientation consistant without a huge waste factor. Grain orientation is used in such a way as to use the problem of "barber poling" to advantage by using it to create a three dimensional effect in the pattern. The depth varies with pattern, but can be quite pronounced and dramatic.
Many designs incorporate the use of string inlay in various widths of black dyed Pearwood to create a design or enhance other patterns. Some examples using dyed veneers are posted as well, though they seem to have a much more limited market.

Wow.
Barry,
How do you do the black lines as, for example, in the black on white "trumpet horn lace" image?
I saw some of Steve Latta's (sp?) work where he he used a router template on which he let an 1/8 inch bit ride. Do you a similar approach?
But then what happens in the more complex pieces (such as your rectangular top with the outlined faces) where the veneer grain changes within each cell?
It would be fun to watch you do it. Is there any chance that you'd post a series of images showing the evolution of one of your tops?
Nice work.
VERY Respectfully,
Larry Root

Barry- After a while you get numb to other peoples projects, And every once in a while someone hits a grandslam. Absolutly beautiful craftsmanship!!!! I'm a woodfinisher, Any problems with black dye wicking onto white wood? Where are you located, I have to see your work in living color, If they look so good in photos the real thing must be another rush! I bet i could add a little more icing to your work, I think i could give you even more three-d effects to your inlays, Again you are going to the top, You have learned well grasshopper! J.B.K.
