Nice project Gene... I saved the pattern but I know my attempt will never come close to looking like yours.

Very cool Gene - just may have to find some basswood for this little project.
Thanks for posting, doing the videos and providing a pattern. As always very interesting to see.

Nice. I think the thing that impresses me the most is your line drawing is only a starting point- the finished figure is related but very different. Its the process of working out the design with your tools that I like. Thanks Gene, likely there is one of these in my future.
