heppnerguy Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I have to say, not only have you done a great job cutting this but the lighting and shading is done very skillfully, making it an outstanding project Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickMira Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I appreciate all the fine comments. The wood that this project is done on is Black Walnut. When I am contemplating a scroll project, I spend time studying the hardwoods, native and imported, for the grain patterns, defects, knots, bark, raw edges, color and general shape. Then, I decide on a pattern, it's size, orientation, pattern modification, etc.as well as the subject. The "sun rays" on this board were very dramatic and told me how the jaguar would be placed. Didn't have to think about that one too much. I was very pleased how this improved the jaguars presence. 4 hours ago, ben2008 said: WOW, just beautiful.

The pheasant demonstrated the classic startled response and was shooting up from brush, grasses, and weeds. When you see the grain patterns on this board, you can see why no cutting or carving could improve that. amazingkevin and ben2008 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sometimes find it at a flea market, local people sometimes mill a tree from their property. Sometimes you can find it in small lumber yards in rural areas. You can buy small pieces from www.rockler.com as a mail order source. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
