Bird on wire

Saw this as a ceramic tile and thought I would do it in wood. I learned not to use similar colors of woods because there are different woods in the dark wings that you can’t see.

It would make a beautiful box top or back splat for a chair. Really nice job. I have been meaning to try some inlay.

Very nice inlay work. I agree with dustynewt, Great box top, but nice enough to be a stand alone work of art.

Keep it up.

I think this is going to be a wall hanging. Christmas gift for sister-in-law.

I am going to try it again with different colors.

Just for the info, I think this is considered marquetry. Inlay is when you create a design and the cut the whole thing into solid wood. The trim on my Dalma piece is inlay but the picture is marquetry. It all is a bit confusing but I know what you mean.
