Project Information
I was looking for ideas on the internet and found a picture of this one a couple of months ago and finally decided to make it. The weird thing is the responses I have gotten so far. I made it because my wife always said that when I made an animal she really liked the expression that go into the eyes. I was going for a dog that was begging for something, but the few people I've shown it to saw something different. My daughter instantly disliked it because she said it made her sad because it looked like an abused animal (she liked the craftsmanship and the work that went into it). My Mom and Dad said it made them think of a dog that had done something bad and was in trouble. Let me know what yall think.
It is about 1 ½ feet across and 1 foot tall. It is hard to tell from the pictures but I really tried to put some depth in it. It has spacers behind most of the pieces from ¾ inches down to 1/8 inches and ended up being about two inches thick. The wood that made it was cocobolo, babinga, bacote, aspen, ebony, wenge, walnut, butternut, mahogany, yellow heart, ambrosia maple, and koa. No stains were used to achieve the colors and has a satin finish.
