I was really trying to add some depth to this one, and it was a challenge with four different dimensions to the piece. The horse and Indian in one, then the buffalo, the desert, and then the mountains in the background proved to be difficult to say the least. In making the pattern I did myself in with so many small pieces, a couple of the pieces in the eyes ended up being less than the width of a pencil lead. I decided to leave the top half open. I did add hinged boards on the back and a wall hanger so you could either place it on a flat service or hang it for display. It ended up having 236 pieces and 23 different woods.
It is 2 ½ feet wide by 1 ½ tall. It was made from aspen, babinga, bacote, butternut, cherry, cocobolo, cortez, curly maple, cypress, dark walnut, ebony, hackaberry, koa, lignum, mahogany, osage, purple heart, red heart, teak, walnut, wenge, western cedar, yellow heart. It was finished in satin, and no stains were used to achieve colors.
Thanks for Looking,

Nice! I don’t know if you sell or not but, there’s a market for this.
Our local mall used to have a “craft” shop. Most of the stuff in it was junk. For example, somebody cut an outline of a cow out of a board, spray painted it white and put a couple black splashes on it with a “welcome sign and hung $29.99 on it. Hah! It never sold that I saw.
But one person did art work like yours. Like you, they were good. Their prices ran from $69-$149 and their projects were always walking out the door. Crap is crap but this is art and people will recognize that, and that somebody with skill and talent put time and effort into something like this and pay for it. And this was several years back too.
Once again, nice work!
