I knew I wanted to do this when I first saw it.  Steve Good pattern, reduced to 75%.  Cut in live edge, reclaimed Elm.  There is a knot that I had hoped would add interest.  Part if the edge fell out.  Used a #1 mg blade, finish is Walrus Oil.   Now I have to decide if this is okay to sell!

It looks great Barb.  I say it's ok to sell.  If it were mine I would keep it.

Great job and the live edge wood is perfect. Yes good enough to sell, but before you do I have two, IMHO, important asuggestions.

1.  You need to clean up a areas where fuzzies are very noticable.  This may be most apparent in the photo, but if someone is thinking of buying and does a close inspection, this might be a reason not to buy it.

2, And to me more importantly, unless it is intended to be a wall hanging, your piece needs to have a base.  I know it is thick wood and can stand on it own like pictured, but if it falls over it will most likely break.  I'm sure you know that solid wood is much more susceptible to breaking on impact than Plywood and that piece is very fragile in the scroll work areas. A buyer will not be happy if that happens and it would reflect on you, the artist.  A base would connect the two solid sides together and not rely on the scroll work to hold them from breaking apart.

I've always liked that pattern, but you found the perfect piece of wood to take it to the next level. Great job!
