One of my ndew veneered bowls.  The bowl itself is made of tulipwood, which is one of the most stable of timbers and provides a good base on which to glue the veneers.  The veneers are sycamore (the lighter wood) and walnut.  The bowl has been oiled and polished and, while making a great display piece, could also be used for keeping those small things like keys, cuff-links etc.  
 
This piece will soon be available from Artisan Alchemy gallery in Birmingham
