Stuff happens. So a little backup project today.

I was working on my Intarsia project today, finally finished cutting the horse on the right (see below), and started some of the power carving.  Sadly, the rotary flex cable broke as I was working, so I need a new part.  Only $13 and it comes in tomorrow, but it set me back on that project.  It is a key rack, that will be a birthday gift for my sister.

Needless to say, I wanted to occupy my time today, so I cut this out.  About 5 hours of scrolling for this.  A bit of detail work and pierce work (Drill and cut inside).
Still need to profile the edges and give it a good sanding, but wanted to fit the clock mechanism to make sure my tolerances were good. I had to make some on the fly design changes while cutting.  I am reworking the design now for future pieces.

I was asked if I would sell this, but I do not think I could justify the price.  7x8" @$1.5/inch would be about $85.  I know I have $20 in it. And so far about 5 hours of my time.  I cut slowly as I am anal about nailing my pattern lines. Plus I had to do some on the fly while cutting design changes.

BTW, this is my current Intarsia project. It will be a gift for my sister.  Currently finished cutting it out, shaped the left horse, now on to the right horse.

Richard, the tree clock would be way under priced at $85. Great job on it.

Depends on where you live, somewhat.  Some places you can get more.  Around where I live I doubt it would sell for near that.  Nothing to do with your cutting, it is a very well done piece. But, I have found that around here, people just are not willing to pay you anything for you time.  Maybe I just have provided the things people want.
