Wabash Cannonball and Covered Bridge

[Kris Martinson]

I just finished cutting this wood-art piece. This one took about 18 hours to cut and another 2 hours to make the pattern. I made it from a painting by artist, Ted Blaylock.

I don't know how you make patterns out of pictures. One day I may try it. Beautiful work.

Kris, O don't know how you manage to do all those little details in some of your portraits. Beautiful cutting. As Dick said, would look beautiful in a frame.

That is a triple WOW from me, first to make the pattern and then to go even better is to cut it. This is piece of art.

[AUTOMILE]

Amazing work!!

Beautiful work!

Extremely well done, both pattern and cutting.

Got a couple of questions.   

What is the cut panel size and material? 

Realy curious why you chose to change from a horizontal landscape format to a vertical portrait fromat?  I'm guessing to suit the panel size you had or wanted to use.

An application of a finish and, as others said, a nice frame will make it outstanding.

I've done some pattern creation from an image using Inkscape.  Takes me a lot longer than 2 hours for even simple patterns.  Don't know how you did such a complcated scene in just two hours.

I would really enjoy cutting that pattern but living in Florida my inclinations is to do a little more "tropical" scenes

This piece is 11 x 14 inches Baltic birch 3/8" ply. I made it in portrait format because it showed more of what I wanted in the scene and because of the wood grain.
