I was asked to provide a woodworking project for a fundraiser. So I decided to mix my photography job and woodworking hobby to create a mixed media project for display. I took a shot of the Alley Springs Mill (Jacks Fork Missouri) late one winter, accentuated the mill over the black and white background and had an 8x12 printed on metal (aluminum). I then took a piece of scrap live edge walnut and created a background to "frame" the image. The print is raised of the background by 1.5" using blocking to give it a 3 dimensional look. This is the live edge piece after cutting for length, jointing the long edges, hand planing the face and back and a base sand with 40 and 80 grit. A quick test to see how the print looked over the natural wood. I decided on staining. I wiped on Minwax walnut stain, then sprayed three coats of semi-gloss polyurethane over the entire piece. Epoxied the print to the board and placed on a stand for display. I'm extremely pleased with how this turned out. It allowed me to work with the metal media, and use a piece of live edge to accentuate the print. Will
