Here is a mini update for those of us who are going into withdrawl, including myself. Lol.
This is what the inside of the sink is starting to look like. This has 3 strips of Oak on top, followed by a strip of Black Walnut, then one of Mahogany, followed by the Oak below that.
This will be sanded a little smoother, then covered by fiberglass cloth, with Epoxy covering it. From what I am told, after a few coats of Epoxy, the cloth is no longer visible, and all that is seen is the wood, with the extra strength, of course.

Evidently this is how it looks with wood. Here they are building a wooden strip canoe.

Some of you have more knowledge of this than I do, but this is what I am shooting for.
If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

Fake grass would not weigh much. I could really load up an Easter basket, couldn't I? Lol.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay. I thought I was going to be able to get this posted last night, but, I didn't get far enough.
First off, let's take a piece of plywood and put a bunch of pencil lines on it, like this.

Then, lets cut a bunch of tapered strips of thin wood on top of the plywood, like this.

Well, that's a little strange.

Time to put things into perspective. We need to join a couple of things together, in order to make it, make sense.
This is my first mock up, and I am getting close to assembly. Yay!
