flowers

Pat,

These are beautiful and so realistic. This is definately one I will not let my wife see. Her first words would be “Why can’t you do that?”.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

a green maple or aspen branch or other soft wood. let it dry overnite peel the bark and make a flower.

Excellent work. From the picture, you would not know they are made of wood. Your woodwork and painting of the project makes them look quite real.

-- You can't get a hug from Facebook.

”a green maple or aspen branch or other soft wood. let it dry overnite peel the bark and make a flower” If it were that easy we’d all be doing it, so I don’t quite believe it. The flowers are fantastic. There’s skill there that I don’t have.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

russel , believe me it is really that easy. a sharp knife is important.
i brace my branch against my table. as my hands will not hold it still enought.

come on try it. is fun. but beware it is addictive
