Our client spent a considerable amount of time completing this piece of needlework. She requested that we incorporate the finished piece into a practicable Serving Tray and have the needlework protected under glass.
This project was completely custom. The Serving Tray frame profile was milled to allow for 1/4″ glass, the professionally mounted needlepoint, and a Cherry back-piece ~ all retained by a removable stop. The removable stop will allow for access, if necessary, in the future.
What can we do for you?

This piece is to be incorporated into a mantel in a custom home being built in Lake Isabella, California. We worked with our client in designing this relief to his specifications and he is thrilled.
Below is a picture of the piece during the “roughing” pass . . . the beginning of a 10 1/2 hour process.
This relief measures 65 1/2″ long by 11 1/2″ high.
I used a 1/8″ ball nosed cutter to obtain the most detail.
What can I do for you?
