Thread: Butterfly Shadow

Nice one.
Regards

Very nice work, beautiful timber and tastefully mounted.....well done, cheers crowie

That is beautiful, I bet she loved it. I agree with you about the base, it actually looks as if it was made for the butterfly.

I just got an idea.
If you can pin it on 2 sides, and move the butterfly lower.
Maybe cut the backing board to the same shape (but bigger, shadow like).
Then you could use it to hold cookbooks open on the bench.
Use the tips of the wings to hold the book open.

I really liked the rough look of the base so I left it as is with some light sanding and finish.

You can get the pattern, compliments of Steve Good, here in pdf form.

Yep, he's a very generous person. I have made a few things out of his patterns now. They're excellent for beginners such as myself.
