And then some!

Gluing the back board to the panel..... you can never have enough clamps. Here's the panel, with the backer board in place and the stippling done. I'll run this through the planer to remove some of the thickness from the backer board. The rosettes will be a 7" wide, one piece, unit... I hope! Lathe work to follow.

It's awesome!

Project coming along nicely. Here's a "back-of-the-envelope" sketch made for the double rosette. The almost finished sanding of the rosette and the lobes partially cut.

Awesome!

In the homestretch for this project. The rosette was turned/carved from one piece of wood and fitted(with a dowel) to the center area of the panel. I decided to lower that central area by 3/8" for a better look. It's amazing what a #5-35 and #2-35 carving gouge will do to lower that area. This was followed up by using a router plane to bring it down the the final dimensions and flat. Hmmmm, which router plane to use??? The last photo shows the almost-completed panel, with the rosette.

You nailed it! Well no nails but you know what I mean. Far exceeds the model

Love it!

Finish proceeding on the plaque.

Love it! IMO, this ranks among the top of your works. Great vision from taking a picture to a 3 dimensional piece. This one rocks!
