meflick Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I agree, excellent work. I am in awe of the time, patience, and talent shown in this piece of art. Clearly you put your hear and soul into it. I look forward to hearing how you do with it at the fair. If you don't win, please make sure you take a pic and share of what did as I can't imagine what it would be to beat this. Thanks for sharing your work in progress and the finished project wit photos. As a newbie to the craft, I like seeing the progression and its completion. It will be quite a while before I would under take a project like this I think!

heppnerguy Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Clayton, This proves you are indeed an intarsia artist. This is extremely well done. I am still amazed when I see something so expertly make. From the wood choices to the cutting and shaping and finally the finish on it. Nothing could be done any nicer. Take a bow, you deserve one, or two or more Dick heppnerguy Clayton717 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONGRATULATIONS ON A TREMENDOUS JOB Dick heppnerguy Thank you Dick. I was working our woodworkers guild booth at the fair which is in the building all the woodwork and art is displayed. I had several people stop and talk to me about it, and several I overheard talking about it. It got many compliments even some thanks from other Vets. It makes you feel good when it makes others happy. to see peoples faces when you tell them how its made, a few thought it was one piece of wood and carved like that when I told them it was over 230 individual pieces they just stared at me. It will hang in my little "gallery " in my home heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
