Rockytime Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Not only is the wood beautiful, the cutting is superb as are the matting and framing. Quote
Charlie E Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 That is one gorgeous piece of wood! Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Love the quilted maple wood. That is one beautiful piece of wood and bet it ran a few $$$ Quote

Give it a try....bet you'll surprise yourself! I bet I couldn't even find a piece of wood like that, let alone afford to buy it!! And, what if I screwed up the beautiful piece of wood. Wish I had gotten serious about scrolling at a younger age.. I may have at least trued to do something like this. RabidAlien 1 Quote

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Looking at it some more it looks like it is 3D in that there is more than one layer to it which makes for a cool concept. Love the thinking outside the box. Quote

WayneMahler Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 That is one amazing piece of wood with great cutting. Love the depth of it. I have had some Maple in my shop that was quilted but nothing close to this. Normally they turn this type of figured wood into veneer and wonder if this is the case for this project. Also looks as though some dye was used to high light the quilt. I am just totally amazed at this. And Paul, I'm sure you could cut this, just take your time and be patient. Quote
Tomanydogs Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 Is it possible that the wood is textured with a tool then scrolled? I googled “How to texture wood” and a few different techniques came up. Quote

I googled “How to texture wood” and a few different techniques came up. No that is a highly figured piece of curly maple. It has a clear finish on it and any oil finish will bring the details out. I have some but not as curly as that. I just used a piece of highly birdseye maple for a project that I am going to stain to pop it. It is a nice project and the wood choice was well worth it.
