A pair of butterflies
« on: August 31, 2012, 01:25:15 pm »
This is Steve's pattern for the Butterfly. I decided to stick them to a flower. The wings are Purpleheart, the body is white wood dowel, the flower is Yellowheart and the leaves are poplar. A friend asked if I could make a butterfly for his wife's desk.

excellent work Crusty, did you carve the bodies of the butterflies or turn them?
