hi i'm new to this forum. i don't know any other woodcarvers and am not familiar with the terminology. i've carved a few bowls and vases and did a few pierced reliefs too. recently started working on logs. i call this one "sunbird". made for my recently married brother.

It's very nice. Are you planning some kind of colour to up the contrast or is this the finished piece?

[Banjo]

Very pretty!

Beautiful design. How is it meant to be displayed?

[sjbrian]

i was thinking of drilling out the center to make it a flower vase. also found a place that sells various colored stains,like green and yellow. has anyone tried these type of stains?

Ito thimk it would be a stonger peice with added color. It's hard to tell exactly what the picture is. Perhaps if you showed a flat pattern and the log. Just a thought. Feb

I agree, color would definitely make the design pop more. Perhaps its the effect of the photo that is flattening it a little. Neat idea though. Let us know what you end up doing.

Welcome to the board by the way. Lot's of great folks and information.
