For some reason, this nosty reminds me of a coral reef. (My mum says it reminds her of hibiscus flowers). Bloodwood, brilliant red, is amazingly smooth, and I combined it with bands of "Turquoise" Dyed Hardwood, and a central segment of "Ocean Blue & Red Swirl" Inlace. I can just imagine all of the sea stars, blue water, anemones waving in the underwater currents... Total length is eight and one-half inches. Heirloom quality.
