Wood Gloat #9: Leopard Wood this time..
A mate was cutting down a Leopard tree [Caesalpinia ferrea] and asked if I wanted the wood… I had to think about this for a while because I am running out of room lol..Leopard trees have mottled shiny bark that someone thought looked like a leopard’s skin. This a graceful tree that lines many suburban streets and parks. They are perfect as a screen against the hot western sun, the light filtering though the leaves, highlighting their delicate shading.......And for those who wo...

"Hobbit Holes in MyWorld" --by RusticWoodArt #63: On the LighterSide of Wood
On the LighterSide of Wood So after last night…. I decided it was time to resume my identity, as I am known to mortals. Last night’s photo avatar was a way of closing out a time worn photo image of my-self and, since I am much younger now, I thought I would post a newer version—vision of who I am. This one will run a short while here, till I can come up with a better picture of a hermit turned wood hobbit who lives ‘out in the woods’. ——&#...

"Hobbit Holes in MyWorld" --by RusticWoodArt #61: My WoodWorking Ten Commandments
Frederick’s Francks Ten Commandments These Ten Commandmentsments on seeing/drawing were revealed to me on a mountain, but also in a meadow, on a beach and even in the subway. For their revelation did not come all at once, but in installments, as it were, over the years, and always while I was busy drawing, and invariably on holy ground. But that may be because, while drawing, all ground is holy: unseparated from the Whole. 1. You shall draw everything and every day2. You shall not...

What Kind of Wood is This
I got this off the beach Yesterday. It is a hard wood and stinks. The back is like a stack of paper and the grain is somewhat like Mahagony. What do you think it is.!!http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy21/OregonBurls/Beachwood002-1.jpgThanksGreg
