Foliate Viking....cut in Poplar

[Scrolling Steve]

This was cut in 1/2 poplar using 2/0 and 3/0 FD new spiral blades....Paul recently cut this in Oak and I like the oak a little better...Fiona's patterns are always a challenge...I do like the way this turned out....Thanks for looking.

Both of you on the same wavelength !!   a lovely piece, well cut, I like both woods.

Ah, Steve, you really "one upped me" on this.  Great job and I don't see any needed extra branches or off color glue ons.   great job.  I am pretty sure I will re-cut this pattern one of these days. 

The other question I have is what does one do now.  Needs something to mount or hang on.  I thought it might look neat if one had a slab of  a tree with bark on.  Carve/cut out an area this would fit snugly in so it gave the impression this guy was carved into the slab.  When I go to the Oregon Coast this summer I am going to have a look for a piece of drift wood that might work.

Very nice work, Steve.  Which on are you going to do next?

That came out great. Paul has a great idea to. Might look even better cut out of a piece of slab with bark around it.

Paul, I got lucky and saw the floater early....I am finishing up the  Bee on the honey comb and the double dragon...your idea of the live edge wood sounds good !
