Holly cow!

Pretty they are!

The bird in the middle is a happy camper:)

Thanks for sharing with us such a beautiful work.

yeah! What he said ^

This is just amazing stuff, Paul. I’m really speechless.

This is an epic piece, its is beyond anything i could ever make. You sir a a true artist. Great work Paul. Thank you very much for taking the time to both blog the process and post the pictures as you work.

Really looking good. Your final choice of design for the top is living up to all it’s promise!

Beautiful!!!

You have SO much more patience than I do! My Craftsman scroll saw is so “Buzzy,” that I don’t like to use it much. One speed, and it’s “Hyper.”

Beautiful work!

Thanks all.
Shin, there’s no way I would attempt this on a scroll saw either. It is far too intricate and there is no “waste side” to escape to. It is all cut by hand on a chevalet.

Forget the jewels and take the box!! Wonderful work.

Wow that’s amazing time & patients are what that takes. Great job

WOW just incredible. Yeah beyond my talent. Awesome job.

Paul,

Will this contain the crown jewels? I can’t think of any jewelry that I would have that would be worthy of such a place to reside. (You could probably put Cracker Jack jewelry in that box and convince someone that the phony diamond was worth a few million. LOL)

That ebony really does show off the marquetry beautifully. You must be getting terribly excited to be so close to finished.

Words defy me.
You have certainly come a long way since the spilled coffee mug.
I am looking forward to the photos of the finished project.
