Here’s another wall art display piece I did for a contest. Of course, I waiting until the last minute to enter so I whooped this one out in 3 hours and let the finish set overnight.
I wanted to experiment with some wood dyes I got. So I used a turquoise dye with a black dye on the base piece which is red oak. The top piece is a flamed maple and I did a custom fade going from black to orange to yellow in order to simulate somewhat of a sunset. I will have more pics to post once I get the project back. Here are a couple in different angles of lighting to show a bit of the chatoyance in the flamed maple.
Really cool design, i wonder if you could apply the wood stains in a way that it gave more a 3d effect like shadows. it already looks like it is popping out at you
Well I had more ambitious plans for it but I ran out of time. The top piece is attached with a special adhesive that will allow me to remove it safely with heat. I already plan on doing a more 3D style but not with dye. I have wood dowels I was going to place under each piece at different heights to offset it from the backing piece so it’s actually 3D.
