Recent American Woodworker on PBS-Scrolling

[EarltheScroller]

The American Woodworker is a PBS show. Do any of watch it? Husband and wife team and they did scrolling like I've never seen before. I have looked all over for books or patterns like they did and can find nothing.

 

First he cut out a tree life from a large board. First he designated what he wanted to be foreground, put the saw on a 2* angle and cut out the trunk and some of the branches counter clockwise. The angle allowed him to push those pieces towards the front of the board but they wouldn't pop out, giving him a raised area. Then he cut more of those sections clockwise which allowed those piece to push toward the back but not pop out. Finally he cut other piece at 0* which came out completely leaving a void. The result was a 3-D effect.

 

Then she cut her tree of life out of four layers of 1/2" wood. The first layer was the foreground, the second layer the middle ground and finally a third layer that was the background. So the tree was in 3-D with branches of leaves in each layer. Finally she painted a sort o abstract sky and ground on the fourth backer board, stacked all four layers and had a stunning 3-D tree.

 

Have any of you see these techniques? You can watch the show on your computer here: http://video.wbgu.org/video/2365634080/
