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.

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.

”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.

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
