C’est magnifique Paul!
I see what you have done to the flower. I had to look for the subtle changes.

Do you glue the smaller veneer to the basswood carrier or just tape them?
Why use a carrier and not attach directly to the other pieces like the poplar?
What do you mean “face to face”?
How do you prevent the top layer from breaking especially with a reverse tooth blade? I realize you use the chevalet and probably different blade.

Sorry for all the questions but you are a wealth of knowledge.

Thanks!
