Cockatoo Pair

Pattern is from Linda David.  It was featured in one of the Scroll saw magazines back around 2013 or so.  Made this one with Aspen, Basswood, Holly, Padauk, Peruvian Walnut, Poplar, Yellowheart, and Zebrawood

Great job. I really like it.

I really love your work.

My following questions are me trying to learn. Nothing against your technique.

So how did you get black wood?

Paduak is usually is orange is there something you did to make it red?

I didn't see the zebrawood.  If it is the branches the stripes did add the lines like bark.

The live edge cookie is a great way to get a backer board with a frame.

Beautiful work.

Beautiful work.   

The black is Peruvian Walnut, and that is its natural color.  Its not really black, but a dark chocolate brown.

I did nothing to the padauk,  that is just how it turns out after the finish is applied

The Branch is the Zebrawood

 

Thank you
