Young Indian Boy Dancing

[Jane Hiatt]

This was a request from my cardiologist this past year.  Little did I know that he travels to an Indian reservation and treats heart patients.  So after seeing what I do with the maple burl slabs, he requested one of a "Young Indian Boy Dancing".  Since the doctor is of East India decent, I asked him, "Indian from India or Native American Indian?"  Native American he said, so from a photograph of a young Indian dancing at a local powwow, here is the finished project.  This was done on my 21" Seyco and the wood was one and a quarter inch thick.  This was my most favorite piece I did in 2023.

Excellent job, RJ

[Jane Hiatt]

Thanks, R.J.  It was a hoot to do, but the fact that it blew the doctor away, was so worth it.  He told me that the image was exactly what he had in his mind.

Very well done.

[Ron Johnson]

Awesome’’ Jane. Love the burl.

 I can easily see why this was your favorite project you did in 2023 as it is very nicely done. Using a black backer color it makes it really stand out so it is easy to see that it had a lot of small detail you had to cut. It is truly a really nice project that will be cherished for a long time to come

super nice.  Great contrast of cut to maple. 

You left ample room around the center to show off the burl grain.

great job.

Beautiful cutting of a great pattern and wonderful piece of wood.  Wife has a friend who would love this and I have some burl slabs.  Is the pattern available?
