Wooden plaque

[Danl]

I was asked to help with making an accent piece of some-kind for an interior decoration.  My wife went to an antique store and purchased a unique item, not knowing what it was.  Later, I discovered that it was a wheel wright’s traveler.  I made the wooden plaque and mounted the traveler.  The wood plaque is ¾” x  12” x 16” flat sawn white oak inlayed with 1/42” x  1/8” black veneer.  General Finishes High Performance satin was used for the finish.  Guess how many boards were glued to make the 12” wide plaque?  Clue: more than one.

Thanks for looking.    Danl

I used one board and sawed it into three pieces.   Danl

I guess 3 pieces from the same board

 

Very unique and creative plaque. The travel wheel is just plain cool. If I have ever seen one, I was clueless to what it was. Thanks for sharing.
