This is a 4 foot diameter world globe. It has Maple veneer as the oceans and Sapele as the continents. The process of a simple inlay was more complexed having to inlay veneers on a complexed curve. If you are interested to learn how it was made please click here.

He made the two hemispheres and glued them together. He then carved the currents of the oceans which relieved the land masses. Even as difficult as it was, it was easy compared to what you have done with this piece.
