Another winner Dan, well done.

It’s funny you posted this today, yesterday my wife and I were looking thru your projects to get some inspiration for me to build a frame for another quilting tile she just picked up. Thanks for posting such wonderful projects.

This is beautiful, Dan! The frame w/pins has a medieval look to me, and I mean that in the best possible sense.
I’d love to see some of the mold-making process on these tile casts. As I said somewhere else, at the end of the street where I grew up was an old construction company. They picked the site because of it’s plentiful supply of high quality sand, with which they made custom bricks, tiles, cornices and whatnot in their earliest days (circa 1900-1920). They dug a pretty fair size pit
in the process and sifted it in this structure
You can believe that us kids had a ball climbing around and investigating every corner of that and their other buildings!! Sadly, later generations of kids thought Arson and general Vandalism was more fun than playing..
This is what remained of their pattern making shop after the fire. I wish I had pictures of its’ contents, you would have found them interesting…
In their day, they were a big company, but found it impossible to compete against larger companies in our area. They closed up shop here about ten years ago, fed up with broken windshields in their trucks and other hooliganism. The place has since become a housing development
The houses look like they fell from the sky and the occupants are largely unaware of what went on here…

Your carvings and your frames are incredible. Very nice welcome sign.
