Knife block with turquoise inlaid

Velvet mesquite with Kingman turquoise. I carve the design and crush gem quality turquoise that I set in resin.   It is made to be functional and will form a rich patina over many years of use. I sustainably harvest this unique wood in the Sonoran Desert and mill it in New Mexico. What you see is the all natural color of the wood and turquoise with no stain or dye.
