Derek,

Thanks so much for sharing pictures of your show – all the work was extremely impressive! I've followed your build thread of the Harlequin chest with great interest and , and as usual both the design, wood selection and build execution of your chest set a high standard for the rest of us to aspire to.

I very much admire your competitive spirit and willingness to put your work on display by submitting it to jury judging at the show. Seems incredibly intimidating to me ------but I guess if I had your talent, it might not be so bad!

Cheers, Mike
