Great Horned Owl
« on: October 08, 2013, 12:53:17 pm »
I've had this wood sitting in my basement for about two years and couldn't find anything to use it for. Then I saw Jacob Fowler's pattern in the previous issue of Creative Woodworks and Crafts. The wood is soft maple and is 26" tall and 13" wide. There are 127 cuts in the big pattern and 18 in the smaller one at the top. The part at the top was my wife's idea. (I knew I kept her around for something.) Black photo matting on the back and four coats of satin lacquer.  C & C welcome.

Thanks everyone for the nice words.

Woodchuck, the wood is just a hair over 3/4" thick.

That is one magnificent piece Dan. Your wifes idea was a true masterpiece of an idea.  I hope you are keeping it, it would be a shame to sell it.
