The piece is progressing along slowly. I’ve run out of balsa wood and need to replenish. More botanical cuts to make and a couple to re-cut due to mistakes. 10 out of 20 panels isn’t too bad. Each square is 4″x4″x1/2″. Still need to find some very small eye-screws and links to attach each panelContinue reading “Progress in small steps”
