This is for an administrative assistant in a local school and I have been wanting to use some of my veneers so this looked like a good project for that. Madrone Burl on Maple, 12" x 3" by 7/8" thick, finished in Nitrocellulose lacquer. I didn't try to fill the pores - one coat of sealer, one coat of semi-gloss.
Front and outside profile designed in CorelDraw, exported to Fusion 360, engraved with 0.25" 60° Amana bit, profile cut with 0.25" Whiteside compression bit. Back designed in Carveco and engraved with the same 60° bit.
Cut veneer to fit oversize Maple blank -
Glued veneer with TB I and pressed in my veneer press -

I am very pleased at how clean this came out! This was one pass on the CNC.

Enjoy!
