Thanks everyone

Hey y'all thank you so much for the kind words. Bill- why did you have go and ask for top pics? That's only where all the boo-boos show-LOL. Yeah- I'll post more after they are installed. Janet- "tanks cher" as they say here in the deep sout. Fred, yes this is for a commission. If you check my post listed "progress" you'll see the pattern they were made for. There are a total of eighty leaves, not the 165 I originally miscalculated and they are entirely by hand minus a veining tool and pneumatic hammer which I'll post later. Thanks again, I just about killed my wrist on this one, but I think it is worth it.
