BOO right back atcha, Ash!

Interesting work! Is it a laser etched tiered relief of a church? Not sure what it's called but that's what I named it. Looks great! How big is it? For a client? Excuse me for being so darn nosey--but I'm intrigued when I see a style of carving that I haven't seen before.

BTW--I guess you learned your lesson from last year, huh? LOL

Thanks!
Bob L

Bob L, It is to be a music box . It is a lasered peice. Finished the angel will be replaced with the madonna and child. I develpoed it to add to our products. Once all test are finished and determined we can do it at a reasonable cost. If it can't then it is really a nice piece to set on my desk. LOL

Colin, the height is 22 inches and about 6.5 inches wide. It is in .250 cherry and walnut. I am still looking for the right bells to hang in the tower .

Gene Thanks ! This was one of those spare time projects but it has been fun , I been asked to design a large one so who knows . LOL

Bart Thanks mate !

I used Susan celtic cross that I used on stonewall , and The St. John's church pattern from this month holiday edition of Scroll saw. Along with my own designs . I did not show the base so here is the base , the celtic crosses are cut completly through . and about .250 inch sq each.

Wow, that's a beautiful piece of work, Garry! Projects like that take time, but are worth it in the end!
