Beautiful. I am not sure I could sell it. How many did you do before you got one you were pleased with

I noticed that after I retired a few years ago, my patience level, along with my pain and suffering level, increased. Had it not been for that, I would have given up a long time ago. Attaching the copper foil was a breeze. Attaching the feathers nearly caused a heart attack. I probably did a couple of dozen. I was disgusted. I wasn't sure I had something until I got 3 or 4 coats of finish on this one. Really. . . I think I was lucky. I'll see when I attempt another one next week. Thanks Doc for your input.
