Made this for my wife.

Welcome back. Looks good. I suggest you try burnishing the edges a little more. Other than that its very good.

Thank you for the compliments. Yes I need to break out some practice pieces and work on burnishing.

[Bluesman]

Nice job. I like the way you finished the roses......................very nice

Just like to second what the others already said. Yet, I have a question: what width did you use for the lace (2, 3mm, more?) and what tool used to pull through the lace through the wholes (plier, other?)? Thank you a lot for your answer and keep on with your fine work.

Mark, the 'leatherthresher'.

leatherthresher Sorry it took so long to reply, been busy. The lace was 4mm and the tools used to pull the lace through the holes were my fingers. It wasn't too bad the holes were large enough for the lace to pull through easily.

Wraith, thank you for your answer. So your fingers didn't get sore, as that weren't just a few holes, there. Lucky you! The question came up, as I tried to lace a project but had only one of those two- or three-tonged lacing needles at hand and the lace I wanted to use was even 5 or 6mm. And I messed with the holes!!! My wife is trying to make still the best out of it, as I regarded it to have become scrap. The project will have to wait, as my wife has to undergo a surgery on her left eye, but will see afterwards as good as she had never seen since almost toddler time. Mind boggling!!!

Thanks again, the leatherthresher.
