Popular Post MarieC Posted August 2, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Peruvian walnut and Canary 3/4+ thickness wood. The tree has multiple layers. I again used Dave's @Dave Monk technique for layering the tree. If you look closely you can see an old fence in the distance. p.s. I painted the painting yesterday to compliment the tree...

Charlie E Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Fantastic finished product! I think you painted the perfect background picture to go with it. Love the fence plus the way you did the painted grass next to the wooden grass tied the two together well. I can almost smell hay. danny, Rolf and MarieC 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preprius Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 I am jealous. You can fret, carve, mix woods, intarsia, layer, "muttle", and then you can paint. With all those skills and techniques you can make it even look beuatiful. Me. Mark Eason JessL, danny, Gene Howe and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickMira Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Marie, you did a fantastic job. I love the fact that you incorporated many different woodworking and artistic techniques to create this beautiful art piece. Someone will be the lucky recipient of this piece of art!

Scrappile Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Just a note. When Marie cam to visit Heppnerguy and me, she brought the board she would use to make this picture with. On the board she had hand drawn the trees, and grass that she used as a pattern to cut. We had a great time discussing how she could accomplish it, believe me she had it pretty well all figured out. I would have been happy just hanging her hand drawn picture up on a wall.

My type of scroll sawing is pretty easy, I just kind of make it up while I am sawing so if I go "outside the lines" no one knows. Plus, I could never do hats, figure out bobble heads or do other beautiful work that you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Mira Dick, thank you! That is an interesting point, I am unsure what I am going to do with this. I just had it bugging me in my brain to make it.... and with Dick @heppnerguy and Paul's @Scrappile help with the logistics of how to make it all come together (from my drawing), and then later bouncing ideas off of @Charlie E for the background, I was able to complete it....So, I feel it was a group effort. I am certain it wouldn't be as nice without all of their help. I am thinking of entering it in the Spokane Interstate Fair for Judging. I would also like to make another one like it except with a nighttime theme. Thanks again. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
