New 'art' piece



Had this piece of 'fiddle back' Maple from my tiki bar laying around. Sanded it down, few layers of polyurethane and the grain really pops. I think having the 'live edge' still intact really lends to the earthy feel. Anyway, I had a great day snowboarding with a friend at Mt Baker, came home, picked up the new issue of SURFER magazine, and found a drawing that inspired this design. A few hours later here's the finished piece. I plan to give it to a friend for her birthday. Although I'm really tempted to keep it. I've never really done anything like this, but I'm sure there's more where this came from.
