For now I will just use it for display purposes. Originally, I planned to make a set of coasters that shape but I stopped after 2 of them - not sure I would live long enough to make a set of 8! Garry, understand your comment, The intarsia bird I made took me a full year. How long do your coasters generally take? Oh, and BTW, love your display case work. Reminds me of the work they show of Faberge pieces at the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, Russia and your pieces are as equal if not better than what they have on display, really. How long have you been doing this work? Too many questions I know, but we are all talking to and standing in the shadow of a great artist and need to get as much in formation as we can. And now one final question, for now. In the display case there is an intarsia of a flower, do you have that readily available? I did a micro zoom of it as best I could and it looks awesome. Cheers, johnw Hi John! Thank you for your kind comments and questions. I think the sailboat took me somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-150 hours. I can't say for sure because I lose track of time when I'm working on a project and it seems like there is always an interruption in the middle of it. I will put ip a photo of the intarsia flower soon (if I can find it). I think I started stone intarsia about 7 or 8 years ago, and the composite cabs 20 years ago. I am going to go look for a post on your intarsia bird - I'm anticipating that it will be awesome. |
