...if 8 was 11...March 2006

id like to keep this one...
if i wasnt so fond of eating...
the intricacies of boro patterns is what originally drew me to the medium. the first reversals, then on to the bitch windows, double inlays,and my current favorite the 9way(...if 6 was 9).
all of those patterns ive bit from others(no duh), and im sure this one is not the first but in my feeble attempt to give back, or atleast try to offer something others may bite...
i offer up the quadruple bowtie(...if 8 was 11). rather time consuming, at 2 hours for one section, and 15 handles later...but there it is. it needs to be more clean proportionally, but im way stoked on its effect, the 11way.
true thanks to Shad, and Fro for opening the minds eye...
im trying to not bite so hard, and find my own way in this world, but the patterns you have popularized are just so much fun to do!
