It is a beautiful thing, there must be a heck of lot of sanding to do on these things.
Pete

Pete there is a fair bit of sanding however you can with practice cut the pieces so that there is only a little sanding to do.  That and you can use a burr ( I use one in my dremmel ) to power carve the inside of the shell a little bit, so that the segments flow together then I hand sand.  Not too bad to do.

Very nice DW, I love the gear clock. It's something I'd like to have a go at when I have enough experience. What a pity I can't be at your show, I'm a sucker for wooden puzzles.

Martin nothing I have done with the exception of the fragile angel topper is difficult to do.  Just take your time and if you make a "mistake" so what, you will have learned something   Only way to get better is to push the limits of what you can currently do, soon you will be able to do more and more.

I've never seen apple plywood before. You've done a great job on that ribbon.

Appleply is sold at a couple of our Lowes here.  http:\\www.appleply.com This is a good alternative to BB ply.
