Does anyone know what this looks like? It was used on Sheraton designs, typically on table edges. I know it is a repeating pattern of half-moon shapes, but that’s about it. The pictures of furniture that I’ve seen with it are never large enough to see clearly. Thanks.

Lunette inlays are a series of half round sand shaded pieces. They can consist of two – five half round shapes. I have attached a photo of a card table I made that has a 3 piece lunette.
*Thanks. That's beautiful. You do work I can only aspire to.Do you sand-shade pieces of dowel first and then glue them into the core for slicing? That's the only way I can think of. Are there binding strips?
*Dowels won’t work, as they are end grain and the lunettes need to be face grain. The only way to make them is cut out the indidviual semi circles, shade them and glue it back in. The table in the photo had over 350 such pieces, it’s not as daunting a task as it would seem, but it’s S-L-O-W.Anyone could do if they have patience. The gluing of the inlay to the sharp curves is the hard part.
