Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Gorgeous work! Glue up and removing waste wood must have been intense. While your client wanted a fleur de lid, I really like the model shown in the China cabinet with the shell accent and also repeated on the top outer molding with a scroll. The client is always correct though, and we all live with that. Three weeks is a lot of time and effort. Hope you were well compensated, Mary
Hi Rev. Mary Bettencourt,
Thank you! Yes, I really liked the design with the small shell on top. It’s very unique. Traditionally they just have the simple edge like this one. And yes, I feel I priced this one right 🙂
