Cocobolo and Walnut Wood Veneer
Hmmmm, What might I possibly consider doing with wood veneer? Well, I'm not saying yet... I do love the look and grain of wood. The exotic cocobolo wood has some really interesting visual texture and the walnut looks a bit more even in color. I love the look of wood inlay and beautiful guitars made of exotic woods. One of my favorite woods is koa and it's from Hawaii. I call it sugar wood because it just shimmers and the gold tones are so beautiful. The koa is so, so much more beautiful than even a curly maple. There may be some birch veneer in the middle photo I looked at today and the last photo is of some finished koa. You know with any of the things I make, you'll be wearin' it, not playing it. I'll keep ya posted!

About Me
- wearartbyjulie
- I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
