Thank you for the compliment. It's quite relaxing as your working with a sharp chisel and a Dozuki saw.

Wow, you're really getting some mastery at this.  Really enjoy the work, and thanks for continuing to post.

How did you do those crescent shapes?  Are they bent, or sawed in that shape?

What are you using to cut all those tiny pieces?!

I use a Dozuki Fine tooth Japanese saw and a miter box.

The curved pieces are bent by hand. Broke a few but that is part of the process.

Where did you learn how to do this beautiful work?  Is there a guide or reference available if someone is interested in trying this out?

Looks great!  I see one difference in the book matched panels, but I love the intricate joinery!

Thank you. I caught the difference and fixed it. Right panel bottom left corner. Thanks.
