Wenge inlay and cuffs in the maple legs.  Wenge is jet black and nice but it has got to be the worst wood in the world to work with.  Very very splintery and brittle.

Wow, so much detail in this one that I bet I will see something new every time I look at it. Lovely work. I really like the fact that you use amazing exotics in your builds.
