Title: Oak Leaf Plaque
Post by: Chase on July 21, 2010, 11:59:40 am

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.

Pretty cool.  I like how you had a vision from the things around you and brought it to life.
