D174 White Camellia Sprig
15.5" x 18.25" picture size
18" x 21" framed

The flowers in this picture are holly.  The pieces of veneer were dipped in hot sand, which faintly charred the edges.  This gives the flowers and leaves an almost three dimensional look.

D165 Magnolia

This is really quite a stunning picture.  The background wood is Orientalwood from Australia and the flower is made up of different dyed and bleached woods.  The border is also orientalwood with poplar squares in the corners.

D177 John C. Campbell Folk School ~ The Valley
17" x 14" picture size
20" x 17" framed

This landscape is of the valley view from the John C. Folk School.  It has several different species of wood depicting the different elements of the design, including amboyna, ash, locust, koto and poplar.  The border is oak.

The leaves of the poppy are made up of several pieces of yellow poplar and the flowers are dyed yellow veneers.  The lovely background is a walnut crotch.

This picture works nicely with D108 Chicory (below) as a pair as they are framed the same and the same size.

The background veneer is eucalyptus.  The flower is made of different dyed veneers.  The "pencil" sketch of the second flower and leaf is done by scoring into the background veneer with a craft knife, creating a subtle image.

The background on this picture is poplar and the flower and leaves are made with dyed veneers.

This picture works nicely with D107 Yellow Poppy (above) as a pair as they are framed the same and the same size.

The leaves of the rose are yellow polar and turtleback poplar on a maple pommele background.  The rose petals were created by using different species or red woods like Indian rosewood, makore and cherry.

The lily is maple pommel.  The shading in the center of the flower and the tips are done by charring the veneer in hot sand, thus creating shadows.  The background is walnut burl and the border is a striking tiger-stripe maple.

I have 3 more of these, all a little different, forming a set.

This was one of a set of 3 daisies.  This daisy is made of satinwood.  The shading is created by dipping the veneer in hot sand, which chars the edges, thus creating a show.  The background veneer is redwood burl and the border is figured sycamore.

I made a set of 5 different southeastern wildflowers including this VA Spring Beauty.  The flower is made entirely from dyed veneers.  The background is walnut with a birdseye maple border and madrone burl in the corners.

The background on this picture is poplar and the flower and leaves are made with dyed veneers.
