Butterflies

[Intarsiaplans]

Just posted my latest creations of this day, three butterflies separated over two pictures...What i never will do again for some differences in color is using oak and eucalyptus together...hard to tell where one ends and one begins.
And i just love my type of wood that i got recently...Red palm.

I like the 'eyes' in the last one Danny, but my favorite is the smaller one, the subtle difference in colouring makes it for me.

Outstanding fit you have achieved between the pieces, are the pieces just glued directly to each other, or do they rely on a backing piece for support.

Just one word Danny.
Fantastic
Just one thing missing though are the antennas.
Would it be worth putting these on some how.

They are glued together for the stability in shaping and than stuck on a 3 mm backing.

Danny,

Very nice, using the knots is a magic idea. 8)

What finish have you used on them?

 

[Intarsiaplans]

They look good, Danny. I bet you could sell them by the barrowload at dog shows. Chihuahua breeders always seem to have large plastic butterflies stuck to the walls of their houses; yours look much more attractive.
