    Here are a couple. The pictures do not do the first one justice. It is spectacular and 3D, moves and looks different as you move it.

    I’m going with lacquer, cause I tend to be kinda hard on softer finishes. And basically this color/shade, but slightly more red to match the tortoise binding better.
    I believe this one is Tyler White’s #10
