No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Well. to add to all this after all this time.  Dave did end up selling this piece and I bought it. John made a half sphere of wood and sank the end into it.. so the finish is very like the stags and a couple more pieces I have and so now it can be displayed.  I also have one in a very similar pose with the proper glass sphere base, so I can see what she would have looked like.
You can see them both in this group photo. :)

Thank you Nancy...  I couldn't bear for her to be shut away in a cotton wool lined box... and it is wonderful to see her 'dancing' again. :)

Your hubbie is a clever chappie, Rosie, he's made a super job of the base and she looks fab again now. :)
