BIRDS IN PARADISE

"Birds In Paradise"
This piece was made from two pieces of soft Maple glued into a blank that was first turned on the lathe to various thicknesses to allow the carving process to take place. After turning on the lathe the pattern was hand drawn and hand carved and pyrography was applied by myself. The finish size is 7" x 11" and the coloring was achieved with alcohol inks blended to make the colors you see. The final finish is satin lacquer, the inside was colored with black acrylic.
Thank you very much Breck, it's very nice of you to take time to comment and complement. I'm guessing I'll have to make a few more with the bright colors.
