What's so hard about that?  
Slap

I have a hard time keeping the track of the pieces when making an end grain chopping board.  This is just absurd.  Thanks for the link.

Oh man!!!

That makes me wonder if a Persian box I have was done in similar manner.

Thanks for the inspiration.

The sequence where he's slicing thin sheets of veneer from the marquetry block is just stunning.  It says so much about the skill of the craftsman, the care of his tools, and the precision in which it's all done.
Still Learning,

"Tarsia Certosina"
Try that term on a google image search.
Popular in the Near East.
While you're at it, Google "Tunbridgeware"
I think it's possible that many forum members may never have seen the traditional craft of Tunbridge Wells.

This is Tunbridgeware. What you see is a picture constructed of little tiles of end grain, just like what the man in the video made.
