Spalted Oak Horses

[ScottM]

Cut this out of a roughly 3/8" piece of spalted oak. It measures about 6" high and 14" long. The feet were cut of a piece of scrap from the same piece of wood.

Scott, that's a great blend of wood and craftmanship :icon_thum
However, I request that you give us the full size pix and put it in your gallery instead of attaching photo. I want more detail :-D

Is all that dark tone just the spalting or did you wood burn some details?

It seems like a very good choice and use of wood!

Mike thanks for the compliment. The coloring is all natural. All I did was to add a couple coats of water based poly.

Wow! very nice, the lines of spalting go very well with the flowing scroll work manes and tails. Perfect choice of wood for the project. I'll second the request for more detail from a larger picture :icon_thum

Now you just need to put in the thread like this, you did the hard part, once its in the gallery posting it is a snap.

BTW thanks, now I can really see all the detail, and fully appreciate your fine work of art :icon_thum

Spectacular! Did you cut any of the pieces separately? If not, how in the world did you find a piece of wood that the spalting was so perfect for the tails, mains, etc???? Did you put it between glass? If not, are you worried about any pieces getting broken, even during dusting? It is absolutely beautiful!

 

[b4man]

Scott, that is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your art with us.

 

[Travis Porter]

That is way COOL!!

 

[lottathought]

That is fantastic.
Makes me wonder if you might have stumbled into something here.
If you can do something like that, have you ever tried to make the image of a person? Kinda like a wood based portrait.

 

[cskipper]

I really do want to know how you got your pattern placed so perfectlgy on that piece of wood?
