This is Oak Leaf Plaque.
Inspiration was a drought pic (attch) from the net, a ceramic plaque we picked up at a flea market for a buck, and the leaf; compliments of Mother Nature. It is my first segmented design although the leaf inlay should be called intarsia.
Two woods; African Mahogany and Caltalpa (caltalpa speciosa) also called the Indian Bean Tree. None growing around here in Virginia. This piece came from NJ.
Finished with Deft. Cut from 5/8? stock, size approx 11 x 13.
Pic 1 is draught pic.
Pic 2 is the plaque.
Pic 3 is to see how the leaf was elevated.
This is the project. Whadayathink?
As always, comments welcome.
