Intarsia / busy in the shop

« on: July 29, 2015, 06:25:38 am »

I have been pretty busy in my shop as of late trying to get ready for a show in October, but had a customer commission a large piece a couple of weeks ago. Started cut that piece late last week, All the ground is cut and the left side of the piece is cut less a cactus. The piece is 2 of JGR designs combined into 1 large piece. Between the 2 pieces, the added cactus & grass that will be added along with what I had to add to join the pieces there will be right at 350-370 pieces total.
Let me know what you think of the cowboy & his horse. Will be starting on the Indian & his horse later this week
