December 1, 201114 yr Greg it's all beautiful man, the feathers caught my eye, what was your design inspiration or pattern, and can you tell us some history behind the hand and the bear? Is there any historical significance especially with the hand? John MorrisThe Patriot Woodworker

December 2, 201114 yr Author John, the feather patterns came from one of our members here http://www.thepatriotwoodworker.com/profile/SheilaLandryThese are more southwestern type indian designs, and honestly I'm not very well versed in the indian culture. I was attracted to the designs mainly because of the use of different woods for a contrast. I like to do that in a lot of my projects, like the pet angels pictured here, I used red oak, walnut, and pine for the bodies, spalted maple, walnut, and maple for the dog's ears, and walnut, baltic birch, cherry, and maple plywood for the halos and wings. Check out these two intarsia artists work, all their pieces are done without any paint or stain, just naturaul wood tones, it's amazing what they do. http://www.tjswoodshop.com/intarsia_galleryhttp://square-designs.com/8219.htmlJohn Morris said:Greg it's all beautiful man, the feathers caught my eye, what was your design inspiration or pattern, and can you tell us some history behind the hand and the bear?

December 2, 201114 yr Wow! Â They all look wonderful. Â Really liked the way you mixed the wood on the feathers - very creative! Â Those cat and dog ornaments are so special! Â SQIt it can't be fixed with glue and sawdust - it's not worth fixing.
