That chevron pendant is super ambitious...I have dabbled with similar ideas and motifs but am too intimidated even at the drawing stage to progress. I actually had one with only 7 projections that was in my box for over 5 years before I took to it with the saw and remade it into something simpler. But - I can see what you are doing. By making the initial cuts and drilling the holes, you commit to the idea. Looking at the ones you had in your show (the two with openwork chevron centres) I know you'll be able to pull these off when you're ready :wink:
