Bloody 'ell, Brian! Mind you, I've done the same thing myself, some years ago......claret up the wall, ruined a t-shirt...so I can sympathise from experience. At least scalpels give a nice clean cut When next we meet, we'll compare scars, like old campaigners Take care of yourself , old son, and I hope it heals well soon.

Hi
Like the way your work is progressing on this

Bit of bad luck with the blade ......I have had loads of
scalpel cuts ......though console myself that it wasn't a sabre cut inflicting the kind of injuries
I have read about and would wish to avoid

Wish you well for when you get back to the bench

Ouch!! Been there done that. I have the busts, the horses heads for my idea. I haven't found the right base or figured how to deal with the shabraque yet, but a way will come to me sooner or later. Really like where yours is going

Brian, Love what you are doing and as others have said "another Masterpiece".
Hope the thumb gets better but just proves there is a little bit of blood, sweat and tears in what we do.
Best regards

I can only echo what everyone else has been saying... great stuff (as always). Looking forward to seeing more when you haven't got a numb thumb.

Another very nice concept Brian.
Sorry to hear about your thumb ... we've all done sometime.
When I was doing marquetry many years ago, a slip of the scalpel regularly went over a number of fingers.
Wishing you a swift recovery.

Cheers,
Andrew
