Thanks! I would not really call it "art" because I did not really do anything but show the beauty of the mulberry wood grain. Initially, I was a bit skeptical about the turquoise inlay but after all, I think it does not look tacky.
Funny anecdote: We gave it to the mentioned acquaintance (who we really owe something) at a restaurant and the server asked where she could buy such a piece and asked for my web site. Had to reply that I am sorry but this was a unique job.
