Gold finch all done

[Rolf]

It took less than an hour to cut all of the pieces another 11 (yikes) to get the shaping, fit and finish to suite my taste.

It will be auctioned this weekend at our Church fund raiser.

Nicely done Rolf really like the log slice for the backer. Hopefully it will bring a large bidding war.

[scrollerpete]

Excellent piece like the backing, choice of wood and the finish product is fantastic. Should bring big $$$$$$$$

[Scrappile]

Very beautiful!!!

The church will say thank you, Rolf !...What a nice piece !

[dgman]

Beautiful work Rolf! Looks like another article for the magazine!

[Rob]

I thought that was going to be good but but it's better than good, it's outstanding.  Love the backer and the whole composition.  Really well done.

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I think I will leave the Intarsia articles to the true wizzards, Jannette , Bruce, Judy and Kathy.

great job, I like the background too.

[don watson]

Superb piece of work. Should fetch a good price.

[Ron Johnson]

Awesome Rolf. What I like about your work is the finish. It has that richness and natural look. Well done.

[GPscroller]

Beautiful job. I also love finches. We have a lot of them in the backyard. dave

[Rolf]

We put a Finch feeder in the backyard a couple of years ago. with the small slots and Nyger. The Finches, small woodpeckers, Chickadee's love it. 

Now our challenge is to attract the Humming birds.

Another piece of art Rolf. I am sure it will get great bids at the fund raiser. I suspect that people have seen enough of your work now that it is looked for with great anticipation to see what piece you have done each year. I look forward to hearing how the auction went.

[EarltheScroller]

Beautiful job. Love using the slab for a backer. Great job.

[Bpardue]

very nice work

[rjweb]

If you want humming birds get a humming bird bush, we do and they drive my two labs nuts.

We had our auction Saturday. The weather was a bit iffy in the morning so the fair overall had a lower than normal turnout. I decided to put a reserve price on my piece just to be safe, not something I normally do.

There was a lively bidding tussle going on and it went for $180. I am OK with that, the good thing is it now belongs to a good friend that actually owns the first intarsia piece I ever donated. 

[meflick]

Congratulations Rolf.  The piece was well worth that price and sounds like it is going to a good home where it will be appreciated for years to come (and have a fellow intarsia piece to hang out with.  )

[Jim McDonald]

Glad to see the piece raised good money for a good cause.
