For this particular Writing Desk a bundle of quarter cut Macassar Ebony was selected, and after confirming the yield a portion was cut and glued to a piece of plywood.
After sanding and lacquering the full panel was then cut into smaller squares, with the edges being sanded and slightly bevelled. The backs of the samples are then covered in felt, and a labelled to identify the project, wood species, type of finish, and date.

Two of the samples are then sent to the client, with copies kept as control samples in our shop.
Once we receive client approval on these samples, the woodworking on the desk can begin.
