[Scrappile]

Beautiful piece!

[Scrolling Steve]

Very nice work !....Well done !

[Dave Monk]

That is truly a work of art.

[Rockytime]

Stunning work. You've done very well!

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

Beautiful Tony. I too have this pattern and in fact I have many pieces cut withe frame made. I did not like the combination of woods I used thus I never finished because I need to recut that large center piece again. I planned on using stain glass for the boarders and background. I like the contrast in yours. Could you explain what woods went where. I can guess but it would be better to know for sure. 

I have made so many of Dirks patterns over the years and he is truely missed in the pattern world. The one I am most proud of is his I Am The LIght Of The World Cross.    Job well done and thanks for showing.

i made it with ,pine for the frame,then wrapped it with mahogany,i used ash for the vines on the frame,mahogany again for the circular pieces on the main section,i had a limited choice of wood but i think it turned out fine.

Beautiful! Don't think I'll ever be that industrious.

[rdatelle]

WoW Tony, that is just awesome. There sure is a lot of work there.

[bradnjackie]

Awesome, you put a lot into that.

[tony coleman]

well ,ive had a think and changed the background colour to red,like i did with the first one i made many years back,definetly think red is better ,

[ScollSaw Slasher]

Would have to agree that the red is a better color. Stunning piece of work.

[Tomanydogs]

I also like the red back ground better. Nicely done. Very detailed well done.
