Great work, and I'm sure it was work. Probably a joy to do though. I'm sure it will be well received. Mike

I really like your scroll work, some day I want to make a clock that will take about three years to finish...smile.

Very nicely done, Dick. That really gives a fretwork project a 3D look and adds a lot to it. I'm sure it will be a nice piece for the church. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for all the great comments. I sincerely appreciate the encouragement. Had a great response today at church during the blessing and dedication ceremony. Makes woodworking so rewarding.
