Leopard Cut Update

[Insane Dust Maker]

Made a frame from pine, burnt it with a blow torch and then brushed it with a wire brush until I achieved the desired effect. Then applied sanding sealer and a clear coat of Matt varnish.

Thanks for the picyure.

I thought about maybe the wood burning might not look good..  But with you picture it turned out better than I thought.

Hi, @Don Bedggood

As preprius said, I also wondered about the amount of wood burning and the results.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so, as long as you are pleased, that is what matters,
I am not particularly fond of the dark nature of the frame. Just my opinion which has lost a
lot of value due to the cost of living inflation.

God Bless! Spirithorse

I like it. This makes me want to play with fire.

So sugi ban will yield some interesting , sometimes unexpectedly dramatic results. I like to use it on heavily grained lumber like fir. Wire bush it, then dye it, usually blue, red or, green.

I wasn't impressed with the scorched  horses I done a few months ago , Your frame really fits the portrait thanks for sharing.
