biggest project for me

This is a customized for for my old boss at the factory I used to work at. A fairly simple scroll project, with the exceptions of wood that is between 1/2" and 1" thick, something I never hardly cut. The Chinese lettering is not the bad part, it is the framing that gets me. I had to re-saw once and try again because the edges did not match up, so I placed it on the table saw and ripped again. So now here I am gluing it together once again. Still having a hard time getting things to match up and the edges to look right, but I am getting there.
Hopfully will be done by Monday so that I can deliver it.
Made from little pieces of cherry, a cherry ply backer and Bubinga.
Oh and now my camera is broke too

Marshall, the Bubinga was much harder than the Cherry. The Bubinga is 1 inch thick.

Oh, Cherie, this is a jaw-dropper! Absolutely gorgeous! I'm so intrigued by the frame -- where on earth did you get the idea for that? WOW!!!!

Patte, the customer would have been happy with just a plain squared frame, well I was not so I drew out a design I thought would be fitting. After researching Chinese designs and all, this is what I came up with. So far the customer is happy.

Really love the Chinese writing and hope to do some in the future as a project. The frame is a marvellous way of bring ing the whole thing together.
