The 4x4 completed bard picture is done. Going forward with a unique idea of framing it and will present the entire work in a blog post down the road. I've made comment before that taking photo's of these do them no justice. I really feel that way with this one.
Below is another completed work that I sketched out years ago and finally decided it was time to finish it up and get it out. The Kalispell Grand Hotel in Montana. I have done similar ones to this before.
Jesse had suggest I do some covered bridges. This is a small 4x6 that is stained in natural color and the bridge is in the drift wood stain that I recently acquired.
Started the ground work on a very large and very heavy piece of Red Oak. It measures 38" by 15". My original desire was to make a table top out of it, but that ended up presenting a lot of challenges. Then it came to be to make a wall mounted piece out of it. The natural crescent moon shape is going to be part of the Native American theme of this when finished. I will be walking through that process as I go so that followers can observe the amount of work that goes into doing a piece of this art.
Right now I have sanded down the rough cut to the wood and drummeled away much of the dead end of the plank to make it easier to work with and prevent loss of the piece over time.
