As discussed here, I’m doing a challenge of designing something new each day for 30 days (30 Days of Design Challenge )
Here is the design I made for day 28. It’s a piece of art, made from many pieces of baltic birch plywood, stained different colors.
To give you a sense of scale, this is me holding it:
I know the frame around it is not symetrical. It’s just the backer piece of wood. I’m going to make a nice frame for it next weekend (time permitted).
My inspiration starting point was this image:

Nice work Ben! Great color choices, and a splendid use of scrap cutoffs! That piece work reall makes it.

Very nice work. Make something that is recognizable as Assisi and all the St. Francis devotees will eat it up.

Nice… So tell me about the gappy look. Is it engraved on the edge of larger pieces?

No, it’s much simpler. It’s actual gaps between pieces. They are all glued on a board that I stained very dark (Espresso stain color).
