Can you tell me when it starts? How Long is it? How Much? Please because I am in Scotland in early January and if it works out well with dates i could call in on the way back down from Dornoch to do it. Thanks

is it just my eyes or just dodgy photography
but something looks out to me

Hi kilty, Down in the south the rate is £159.50 sqm. but i always price the job to which design the client wants. for example some designs are more involved than others. work out how much you want to earn a day and how long you think it will take and see the difference between the two.

I think he means the pic named "original". The red inset borders overlap Halfway up, they arent even either and makes it look well weird IMO .

I just did a front entrance insert yesterday 12x12 diagonal inset into walnut 3/4 inch plank
The area which they had framed for the insert had not been gauged according to the tile so it was impossible to start on a half tile and thus make it look proper 7 inchs shorter and 8 inchs less wide and it would have been perfect.
But it was already framed and could not be changed so lots of cutting smallish triangles around the entire frame.
Some areas do not work well for the pattern.
In this case the thin black accent strips would have had to be a different thickness or the red diamonds .
They are a different scale and so do not seem to match the inset well for size.
Nice work though.

pj & sir. everything is square and the border is symetrical. the pic does not look its best crunched down so much with this pattern and colour. however, the client was very happy and i had numerous passers by comment and ask for my card. working outside for all to see can be very daunting so has to be right.

Thanks
