A few shots of another piece that I have done. This one took a while. I put in two shots because of the different lighting.

It is very pretty, but I do not know what I am looking at. Is the leopard painted on the wood? engraved? or what? Wish I had the talent to do that whatever the technique.

The extend of my artistic abilities is painting my house.

I used a scroll saw to cut out the black parts of the leopard and then backed it with a black piece of 1/8" hardboard. It comes out like a picture but it is actually cut out of wood.

wow beautiful.

 

[krazyness]

awesome!

A piece like this one (not including making the inlay frame) takes about 8 hours. It sounds like a lot, but you just put on the music and start cutting. Quite relaxing in reality.

That's just plain mesmerizing, Kenbo. I think you could hypnotize people with some of your stuff.:icon_eek:

I have wanted to try carving for quite some time but I just haven't had the ambition to actually sit down and give it a whirl.

You made this statement in one of my posts. What you created was proof you do have the ambition and patience. Nice work.

Thanks, I never quite looked at it like that. Time to get off my duff and start trying new things.
