Just finished::::

[ubgoofy2003]

Just finished my mountain scene. It is two photo's of the mountain area south of Hoover Dam. I combined two photo's to make up a longer scene on the 8 in. x 22 in. x 1/2 in. thick basswood . I like these pieces with the bark on them. It gives it a more outdoor look. After finishing the cutting, I wood burned the shadow area dividing the mountains from one another. I think it made a more detailed & dimentional look. It took abouit 519 cuts to complete & I did something different for the depth of the wood. I taped the whole piece, cut it all out & then spray painted with flat black all the cuts, so it would show the depth of the shadows, without being so white. Let me know what you think.  Thanks

That is really nice. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it.

Perk, I'm sure you are pleased with your mountain scene. That's a show piece.

Wow, that looks really nice! I have tried the spray paint in the frets, but not the burning.That combination really set it off nicely. Great pattern and use of spirals too!

That is really beautiful! I love the live edge look and the mix of scroll work and wood burning really makes this picture a work of art.  

Thanks for sharing.

NONE BETTER AT ANY PRICE! Having knowedge is one thing but to put it in something ,now your talking persaverance and dedication.Well know area like this is tough to convey in wood and being drawn into it scour the depth of it all is mind boggleing.Fantastic tedious work :thumbs:

[ubgoofy2003]

Thanks so much for the nice comments. I really like doing something different now & then. I don't do a lot with the thicker pieces because it is hard to view them unless you are right in front of it.  The paint made the difference, I think.  Thanks again, so much.  Take Care

A fantastic item and I love the technique you used. i will have to give that a shot. Do you have a backer board behind it ? this is different than any piece I an remember seeing and I really like it.
