The color of that top is going to be fantastic! Should be a perfect pairing with the EIR.

Benjamin,

It is nice to see that I am not the only one that goes on a lack of posting hiatus. Sometimes life just gets in the way and posting becomes a lower priority. I do still try to view when I can.

Anyway, I am impressed with the work you are posting Very nice and well articulated rosettes. Keep showing your work, I love the inspiration.

Hey John, it's great to read you!

Yeah, definitely, especially in those strange times... Thank you so much for your kind words, it is very appreciated!

I hope everything is ok for you and your family! I hope we'll be able to cross our path again at WILS, or at another show!

Thanks Folks, back in the days I love big rosettes... not anymore, but it rarely is useful to show the pattern of unusual woods!
