Double zig zag ornaments

Double zig zag ornaments

The 2 ornaments have integral carved hanging eyes and Birdseye maple finials. the left hand one is cherry with walnut zig zags and birch diamonds. The right hand one is walnut with birch zig zags and walnut diamonds.
Well done. I have done some V's like that but not tried to do the squares in the center with the outer inlay.

Thanks, I don't know if it would be possible with an indexing wheel, The way I did it with the spin index fixture was to cut the Vs at every 30 degrees then, with the material for the squares glued in place, set the index at 15 degrees for the first cut and subsequently 45 75 105 etc. and if you look close you can see that the points do not match perfectly.
