Popular Post Dave Monk Posted April 1, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I was so excited to see our first Hummingbirds last weekend here in Justin, Texas that I had to finish up a project that I have been working on. It is a handmade, inlaid picture using a combination of maple, cherry, cedar, mahogany and poplar woods.

Spirithorse When I first got this done I was not pleased at all. There was not enough contrast in the hummingbird...I knew I would never be proud of it so I redid the bird. The toughest part for me was the little inlays on the wings and tail. Including redoing it..took me about two days to make it. I made the pattern off a picture that probably took me another four or five hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
