busy week here here is what we are up to

Post by tippie53 »

I have a class this week and I also have a commission . Since I have 1 student I am working along with John the student. He is working on a figured Honduran Mahogany Dred. I have a highly figured Koa OM with a Carpathian top. The Koa is stunning. I have the top and back braced up and the box will be closed up today.
Thought you may like to see the Koa
I will post more pics
