Project Information

You may recall an earlier post where I was requesting assistance in un-twisting some Mahogany I picked up very cheap. Well I never quite got all the twists out, so I decided to just let it twist. I created this piece of wall art. It's fairly heavy so I mounted with a French cleat that goes across the back. Its roughly 36" X 42". Take a close look at the grain, it is simply amazing.

Talk about making lemonade out of lemons - this is great! Very creative use of "damaged" scraps. Thanks for sharing.

Nice way to use what might have been seen as "unusable." I'll bet the Greene Bros would like the softness of the edges and the plugs. Would you share the finish? It's very attractive.

The more I look at it the more I like it. I could set and look at it for hours and still see different angles…great job.

That is a beautiful and interesting piece of original art.

I am also interested in the type of finish you used, it really brought out the gorgeous grain in the wood.

Thank you for sharing this.

Appreciate the comments. The finish is simply several coats of GF High Gloss Arm-R-Seal.
