This one is fairly easy to do with a scroll saw, or coping saw, & a little bit of carving. I re-sawed a piece of Red Oak, & book matched glued on the end grain. The wood grain makes a nice wing pattern. I fastened three 1” magnets to the backside.
This one has an 7” wingspan. 3/8” thick.

Beautiful grain display. I think any lepidopterist would love to have this in their collection. Great job!

well it SOUNDS simple.. but I’ve seen other work you have done and know that your skill level makes this as easy as you think it is!!!
I might have a try at one though….
the wood grain in this really makes it “real”

Dick, you have photographed this against a black backdrop. I curious – is this piece mounted in that way, or are the magnets to allow it to be mounted, say on a fridge door?

Don, I’ve been putting a black background on all my carving displays. The carving seems to standout better. I use my ”Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006” They have a free 60 day trial if you want to check it out. I bought it , you can do quite a bit with it.
I just posted an image of the backside of the carving. I didn’t bother to sand it. I used double stick tape on the magnets.
