Introduction

Here is another simple but elegant design from the incredible mind of John Nelson. Twenty-four ribs and a few rings accented with a bit of color and you have a showpiece. We chose granadillo, a Central and South American exotic that resembles walnut, but is harder and has a natural luster for the ribs and non-accented rings, and yellow poplar for the dyed accents. If you are worried about the thin yellow poplar breaking, try 1/8" plywood. We are using scarlet Rif Dye® to add color in this project, but a small word of caution: this particular color emitted a stronger and more irritating odor than the other colors we have used, so use it in a ventilated area.
