Almost finished with this one. Not an original pattern, just playing around with colors again. It's all one piece of poplar and stained with a combination of Golden Oak and Artist Oils.

Thanks for the comments guys. I need to take a day and go fishing to dump some stress!! Bob...you can do it, all you have to do is start. Once you get rollin' things just sort of fall into place. I've made my share of designer firewood over the years but every mistake was a learning experience.If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

Neal, that fish looks so lifelike! You've got such patience to be able to paint the spots so carefully - I'd get bored and end up with loads of splodges. I really love the way you've embellished the fins with carved lines. Did you do those manually? You must have a very steady hand if so.

I love it Neal - you did a super job on the colors.----- but-- I have gotten some artist oils for Christmas and I don't have the touch you do with them- what do you do to the wood to make it absorb like that - I tend to want to hurry to get them glued and that sometimes means touching wet oils --urgh..

My oils don't want to stick like yours do -- how did you do it.. Where did you get that pattern?

Reply to FInished Productby tgiro01It will sit on the coffee table for a couple of weeks/months - Until I finish the next one. Then it get relegated to the collection to await the next craft show. Or it may go to the art gallery for a few months.

Reply to The Vikingby jim_mexHi Jo - that is an absolutely stunning piece of work and a labor of love to draw the pattern and then transform it into a dimensional wood project and give so much life to the character. Your choice of wood color and grain combination is also spot on. Wow!
I'm going to share this image...-
