Wonderful work Paul, and though I have admired your marquetry skills right from the start, I think it is amazing how far you have come in such in such a short time. Besides the precise cutting you’ve done here I think your sand shading looks terrific too. The color distribution exercise was also quite interesting and a good thing to be aware of. I’m glad to see that you have gotten your magnifying issues under control, really important, especially for classic style cutting.
