Just another piece of wood

 I have a friend, (yes I know that is hard to believe), that is terminally ill and is also an artist. He asked if I could make a board that would go from arm to arm of a recliner. Well, because he is an artist, I just could not just give him a slab of wood. I came up with this. The borders are cherry, field is walnut. The flower petals are sand shaded holly with cherry used as the stem. I hope that he will find this better than just a piece of wood.
