Default Chinese Peacock
Took a break from welcome signs and mini-clocks to cut this. After seeing proudrex's version I couldn't wait to give it a shot. For those keeping count, 716 (or 717 if ya count the outside) cuts. Cut from bb ply in a stack of 3. Took me 9 1/2 hours. Mounted in an 11 X 14 frame.
There were only a few "hold your breath" areas. Other than the first 700 or so cuts, it was pretty easy, hehehehehe.
