Wow Mike. That is some fantastic work. I love the color and finish you achieved. Somebody is a happy camper now.
The wire work looks super. I like the flowing style.
At CLA a year ago I was admiring Mark Silver's work. He let me in on a tip.....as if I could ever do what he does. He said to never cut two lines for the wire that are close together. He said to cut one line, and then fill it. Then move on to the next line. He noted that if you try to do two at once, the wood between will chip out when you go to put in the first wire. The wire in the first one supports the wood for the next cut. He sure knows how to do it!
God Bless, Marc
