Accidental Art

It’s like an archeological story book. Is there a way to petrify it?

That is BEAUTIFUL…If you didn’t get to preserve it in any other way (I would have had to come up with something).. at least you have this beautiful pix.
Gorgeous!!

See??? Only an artist would have “seen” this beauty. You ARE an artist!!

Try pouring acrylic polymer over it very lightly in several coats you may get a layer of it out. jockmike

I looks a lot like a cross section of a mineral formation. You could maybe fool a Geologist.

Great collection of dust. I had a friend helping me clean up my shop and at the end of the dust hose connector (where there was no hose) was this pile of sawdust that had come from my band saw. He was amazed by the colors of wood dust and the layers they made. Here is the wood shaving pile after I added the chips from my Thorsen Greene and Greene Tables.

Just learned something new – as a LJ we all now know that dust is pretty. Who would have thunk it :-)) Oh, nice story too.

Karson – is that where Jimmy Hoff has been hiding?

Looks like a nice variation of projects you been working on there…and remember…Its not that an artist is a certain type of man..its that every man is a certain type of artist.

Hurry up and slap some glue on it. What a wild board that would have made. By the way, you sure get a lot of saw dust in your drawers! Hee…Hee…Hee.

Great memories! Maybe I shouldn’t clean my shop so often!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

omg i just saw this, i love your idea joel! I would like to say i thought of it at time looking at all the different pretty woods after running them through the jointer, but I never took it to this point. Hmmm, that would be sickkk if you made bigger frames (>2’x2’ or so) and hung them on the wall to look like some tile, hmmm….please do it so i can see it? lol otherwise it’ll be another 2 years before i do it!
