Paul,
Your eyes must still be pretty good to cut such small pieces and find them again once you lay them down! This is going to be one incredible marquetry piece. Had you started marquetry as a youngster, you could give Patrice and Patrick a run for the money! It’s totally amazing to see such expertise in just four years.
Thanks for sharing all the details with us.
