April 21, 201214 yr  These are the wooden flowers I have been working on. The flowers are Yellow Hart and Purple Hart. The stems and leaves are Poplar, that is why I asked the forum about how Poplar ages. The wood has a light green hew to it, with some darker strips in it. It is about 13 x 16 and my wife already has it hanging on the wall.  I had no plans, just ideas and this is the result. When I cut out the two colored flowers, I used the scrap to make the solid ones. It is dimensional, as it has 2 layers, some pedals are on top of others.

April 21, 201214 yr Looks great Ron. The poplar will turn dark with age to a brownish color. The green will go deep brown eventually. Really like this project.Wayne MahlerGod bless and protect our troops that serve so we can be free.

April 23, 201214 yr Ron those are absolutely beautiful man. I Love the colors and the back, the frame, that would look good on any wall and in any home.
