Default A work in progress
Hi all ,

I won't take up much space with this, but as you know I started a new company a few weeks ago. It does involve a lot of work in wood and I was a bit hestiant to post a lot about it. But Colin asked if I would so this is a pic of a piece that is almost finished.
I hope you like it , it is out of African cherry and an example of some of the work were starting to produce. Oh the piece is 32 inches long and 16 inches wide.


Susan , I hope your pleased! I know I am. Oh an I will be sending you something tomorrow we talked about. =)

Ash

Nice work Ash. That's a rich looking piece of wood you've carved there. I expect Irish will be pleased for the acknowledgement.
