Paul,

Thanks for sharing this incredible example of fine marquetry. Patrick and Patrice have to be delighted to see their student excel to this degree!

It’s very hard to comment on such a piece Paul.
I can’t find the right combination that will convey my amazement.
The blogs were extremely detailed with beautiful pictures.
It takes a great deal of work to write detail blogs and I, for one, learned a lot from them. Some new terms and techniques.
It was great following along.

So, like they say on the other side of the atlantic: C’est magnifique!

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, I can’t say enought about! :)

Wow Paul, amazing work!

Amazing work Paul. It remains me one of the Historical Marquetry & Intarsia Furniture Martin posted few months ago.

right, it could definitely find a place there :)

That is one beautiful piece of work . You have a real gift .

You know, that would look great of it were pallet wood! Haha! ;-)

Really spectacular. The blog was great. This is a true masterpiece. You’ve really earned the title “Master Craftsman”, or even better, " Maître de la Marqueterie".

A MUSEUM PIECE

Oh, Paul. just…oh-h-h.

I showed it to some people in the office today.
One of them commented it belongs in the Louvre::)

Thanks everyone.
The encouragement of my fellow woodworkers is what keeps me going.

Beautiful piece!

Thank you for letting me see this in person. It is exquisite

The student has become the master! It would be hard for anyone to top the quality of this work. Congratulations on your achievement with this piece Paul. I hope you will enter it into some shows. I would like to see you get some more tangible and well deserved awards/rewards for this wonderful work.

Your marquetry always blows me away Paul,great job,a beautiful jewelry box

Stunningly gorgeous does not do it justice…………

A fantastic work of art you truly are a master artisan paul.

O.M.G.!!!!!! This piece is magnificent! Did you use a scroll saw to cut it or a laser? And I am wondering how many hours just the marquetry took- it’s simply gorgeous! (Well, not “SIMPLE” at all!)

All cut on the chevalet Cindy.
Extensive build blog series starts here.

Every time I see this it blows me away!

Again a price Paul. Congratulations.

Paul, I am so happy to see your WIN today! Congratulations on a magnificent piece! You are so inspirational to me!
