Birds

My husband was cutting up some firewood with friends and decided to have a competition to see who could cut the thinnest slice. They laughed at me when I discovered the pile of slices and decided that I was the winner of the competition. I let the pieces dry before I cut them, some warped horribly and others cracked, but I ended up with some pretty cool looking pieces.

The pattern that I cut was designed by my dad probably 20 years ago. He cut a set of bird plaques for my mother and grandmothers. These first couple that I cut were sort of test pieces, to see how well it would cut, so the size of the birds is a little off. they might need to be enlarged or put on a smaller piece of wood.

Thanks for looking
