LOLOL it would have been faster to get a new one at GC, dump the old one, and go, "There, fixed it!"

Louie, we strongly considered it. In fact, we tried talking the customer into a wonderful dumpster home for this one, but he believes this one is special compared to others of the same model. Besides the special feature of a bridge that wants to raise up to let the canal barges through, I’m just going to have to trust the customer. It will be fine before long. Just a day in the life of our shop.

That marquetry is really beautiful. Did it all start from Steve's over seas trip and the church ceiling???

That said, they would probably laugh to see how their work inspired me. Or maybe just shake their heads... Steve |

I think my favorite rosettes are contrasting wood rings bordered on the inside and outside with paua rings. This one is no exception. It's lovely.
