Backsplash carving

(click for enlargements)

Constructed in the summer of 2006 on consignment, the piece is 12 feet long overall, 26 inches tall and 1-1/2 inches thick. There are seven boards (Poplar or Aspen) combined with pocket screws and glue the joints are staggered for extra strength. Unlike my other carvings I used a router to accomplish the rough depth and gave it the carving gouge texture thereafter.

These pictures were taken before the wood was treated, I hope to get some images of the piece soon of it in place and stained. When the color is darkened slightly it will even up more and be far more impressive.

The second Backsplash carving

(click on this image to see page of several available elements)

Made in the summer of 2007, this backsplash carving is of hard maple. The dimensions are slightly less than the first being slightly less than 12 feet long and 18 inches at its tallest point. There is a slight revision in the drawing mostly to accommodate the change in height to the center panel where most of the fine carving is. Also as you can see this one was stained before it was shipped. Please have a look at the link to see the page with some close ups of the piece.
