Bird On A Branch
Wood makes great wall art! This piece has a couple of firsts for me. First time using shell for inlay and first time trying shading technique with hot sand. I may have gone overboard with the hot sand but it was fun learning something new.

Thank you! It is so much fun to play around with. I keep telling myself, one day I want to try a triptych (3 panel inlay) and we have several old cabinet doors to use…
There are some really great patterns (for free!) on http://www.craftsmanspace.com/free-patterns
I got this pattern from their site and this was one of the very first inlays I had done – and I was hooked!
Very nice Terry, the sand shading really gives the marquetry depth and the shell in the bird looks fantastic. I think everyone would love to have this hanging on their wall.

Thank you all! This project took about 1 week to make.
Terry,
One week sounds awfully fast for such precise, beautiful work. We really love the other one you posted above, too.
