Guest Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Les's inserts are of great quality and craftsmanship.Venneri also makes some beauties.... Right now I am working on the shopsmith to get a pattern down to lathe up my own. Right now my favorites include amboyna and eucalyptus. dyed boxelder burl is also one of my favorites... gives it a nice almost metallic marblized look. steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
