Project Information

Abstract Ripple #5 is a very unique abstract wall carving which I carved using my CNC machine in artist quality Baltic birch plywood. The carving reveals the individual plywood layers which vary in color resulting in a striking pattern similar to 'Mokume Gane'. The structure of the carving is asymmetric and the wood's natural imperfections adds to the beauty and uniqueness of this work. The carving is approximately 22" x 22". The edges of the carving are painted black.

Thanks for looking,
Roger

Your plywood carvings are neat and unique. I'm sure with your finish on it the light gives it nice effects.

Thanks for everyone's remarks.

Kim - I used 'Tried and True' Linseed Oil and Beeswax finish on this carving and the previous one, Number 16. It results in a nice smooth, silky finish, but it does yellow the wood more than I would like.

Very beautiful, it has a peaceful meditative look to it, but also the appearance of something old and mysterious. Thanks for sharing.
