Roberta Moreton Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I just finished this for a friend. I'm not sure what kind of wood that is. The butterfly is mounted with a coiled piece of copper wire. This allows height and a bit of vibration. The overlay body is walnut and the antenna are 26 ga copper wire.

penquin Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 That is lovely, like the wire holder, like you said it allows a bit of a wiggle to it, bet it looks great when moving. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkshouse Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Great job on the butterfly and I like the wire idea. Not wanting to detract from the work on the butterfly but I really like the idea of mounting it on the log. I think it is this sort of lateral thinking that set a project apart.
