It was a Mothers day gift. I was impressed on how well it came out.

G'day Ben,
Rippa job.

Not to many holes to drill, and a great cutting.

Ben,

Great looking piece. The framed cutting looks great, I like the first picture, it looks really cool, don't ask me why, it just looks cool...

Excellent job Ben. I had to look twice at the first picture, though it was a decal on glass at first, then realized that was the cutting. Kewl!

I'm impressed. What program did you use ? Don't know why but I'm drawn to the first picture too. Nicely done .

Great cutting Ben. About the fist Picture. It looks like you are holding up a etched glass pane. Just the way the background is. Interesting affect.
