Roger, this is a work of art in itself. I have followed your work for sometime on LJs and I read where you mentioned Patrick and Patrice and their school in San Diego in the past. At that time I visited their website, but wasn’t sure if the French Marquetry was for me as I build mostly furniture from 8/4 and 4/4 materials. However, after following your and Paul’s (shipwright) work for sometime, I’m more and more convinced I would like to try French Marquetry at some point. You and Paul truly inspire me, and now your Chevalet has really got me interested. I live on the edge of America (SC), so I may have to take a trip one day to the other edge to learn from Patrick and Patrice. Thanks for posting, Roger.
