I finished this one up today. It's 3/4" walnut and measures 18" x 11". Thanks for looking.

Very nice job of cutting. Did you create the live edge look?

Thanks for the kind words.

Pete, I used my spindle sander and randomly created notches at about 45 degrees. Then, my favorite part, I took a torch to the edges to give it a burned look. It's kind of hard to see in the photos but it creates a framed outline.

That is a big wow and so natural looking.  But don't give me any type of burning equipment then whole thing would go up in flames.   :D

That is some good cutting, Dan. Love the color of the wood and the grain. Nice work on this whole thing.

Sweet. The grain in the wings gives the impression of movement. Nice job on the edging.

What a Hoot!!   I like the idea for the edges as well.

Nice work.
