Cowboy Boot with Wildflowers

JGR's Cowboy Boot with Wildflowers

11 different woods:
Padauk, Walnut, Curly Maple, Yellow-heart, Purple-heart, Bubinga, Mahogany, Aspen, Poplar, Aromatic Cedar, and WRC for the background.

Wood burned the barbwire (first for me)
Freehand cut the border with my band saw and then routed a 1/2 cove to inlay the rope into.

I cheated a little by doing a couple of different things, The two brown eyed susan's are the same cut I used a 4/4 thickness and then just cut the pieces in half then flipped one over, I could do that because of my other cheat.... instead of inlaying the pieces into the background I just glued them on top.

Thanks for looking!

The wood is curly maple and I used Old Masters gel finish, I really like using it I bought it a little reluctantly as it is kinda high but I found out a little goes a long way so I am very happy with the application ease and appearance and will continue to use it.

I love the background for that with the rope trim - Totally Country!

Great job shaping those flowers - they look like you picked them from the garden.
