That is really pretty!  What is the wood you used for the backing?  It is really striking.  Did you oil-finish it?

Shelia, The backing is some old oak barn siding board that I planned down, after I glued the cut onto the backer, I just put the whole thing in lemon oil for a minute and that is the only finish on it.

Old pallets are good for that as well.  They've had a lot of time to weather, and look pretty amazing when planed down.  Just make sure that you've checked them for metal bits.
