I made another zebrawood design last week.  It's a new design, and the first one to utilize the program I created.  The workflow from the images generated by my program to a lasercuttable design is still 2-4 hours, which is a pain. 

I haven't stained the design yet because I'm waiting for some glued broken bits to dry, but I want to share anyway.  Here's the finished product:



Here's what my simulator program had generated as a prediction of the outcome (The simulator does not take the placement of the cutouts on the wood into account, and that does have a big influence on the final appearance):

Here are some pictures from the construction process:

Putting a convergence point at the edge of the design turned out to be a bit of a pain:
