I have on this Saturday morning some pictures I took of my Desert Ironwood Inlay Sebenza. A thread a few weeks back requested some photos. As promised, a little late but better than never.

None of these actually capture the fire of the grain when the light hits it the right way. However, it's likely because I am not very good with the camera or photo editing software. I am practicing though! I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy this Sebenza. I must say this is the smoothest one in my collection just behind my Honduran Rose wood. I can post some similar pictures of that bad boy if this thread goes well. The grain on that inlay is almost even more spectacular!

Oh pictured in the photo is a horse hair pottery piece from the Navajo Nation out west. Its a my favorite piece I own is very symbolic. Anyway I hope this gets your salivary glands going!

And like yours, Sharpski, this is the smoothest Sebenza in my collection (past and present). :)
 
Wow.....your are making feel like I am missing something! I love ironwood, but is have not gotten the chance to get a sebenza with it as an inlay.
 
Thanks guys,

It is not a super popular inlay and discontinued now I believe. I have been considering polishing the inlays as they have not finish on them, other than the CRK finish. I have never polished inlays but I am considering it to really make them pop! BLD's looks more polished than mine hah!
 
I love Desert Ironwood myself and those are the two finest examples I have seen yet. Beautiful color and grain figure! Thank you for sharing. :)
 
I think you underestimate your photography skills......very nice!! Congrats on a very fine purchase.....
 
Beautiful stuff!! I love Desert Ironwood and you've got some great grain on yours!! Here's some of mine and I agree its not easy to capture it all.
