Paul, Congrats! Job well done. It has been fun coming along via the internet, looks like it was a lot of work, and I bet you are gonna have a “Post Partum” feeling for a while. Woodworking in America is in Kansas City this week end, and I had the pleasure of getting to know a friend of yours:

Had a two hour session with him Yesterday on French Marquetry, and will be spending another two hour session on french polishing tomorrow. Also met the fella from Ozark Mo who is working on the Chevalet project with Patrick. Believe it or not, your name came up along with Roger Bean : ) I feel like I’m slowly getting to know the “players” in French Marquetry ! Anyway, Congratulations on your first Class!
