Title: Walnut Butterfly Tree ornament
Post by: Marshall on April 23, 2010, 10:39:22 am

I have made over 30 of these so far , not sure that I'll make anymore yet . They are made out of 1/4" Walnut material that I milled up from 4"x4"s . I just love using Walnut , getting low in material > got some more ordered in 4"x4" stock from the mill .............

Marshall,
    Those look great. I'm also a big walnut fan. Thanks for showing.

     Have you seen these butterflys? You might try some or try adapting yours to angled wings. I have made several of these from plywood and they are well liked. The pattern and pictures are on this link.
