Started out with the Mrs asking for a simple cross to place at her fathers grave on fathers day...couple of pieces of oak with a strip of walnut inlay and she was happy...
Then yesterday...she asked for another to hang in our home...Made this one from Padouk,with brass inlay and a miniature cross of walnut...the miniature was a cover-up, as my brass inlay was a tad too deep, and sanding the padouk down to compensate, heated up and loosened the epoxy holding the brass, right at the crossroad ...
Tonight when I gave it to her, her first words were "could you make one more for my grandmothers grave".... sure would of been easier doing all three together...maybe I should add an extra just to be prepared
Hope this counts somewhere down the line, or at least cancels any accidental cussing made during the process
