Thanks for this one Gordie. I made it for a friend as a birthday gift, unfortunately it was her birthday in August, she just had to wait a while for it. :lol: Its made from 1/4 inch Blackheart Sassafras (which is from Tasmania just like she is) and its got a 3mm ply backer. Had awful trouble when the glue had dried it had bled through at the sides and in side the cuts and I did not put a lot on, just must have moved it around too much, but got it all fixed up and it looked great when it was finished. All comments welcome.
My daughter makes jewelery, mostly silver, but she came across these butterflies and loved them, there are 12 in the set. So she asked if I could cut some ply to fit on the back and then give them a couple of coats of finish. They will either be necklaces or brooches, some of each I guess. These two are the guiinea pigs versions, try them out and see how they wear. They are about an inch wide.
