Aged leaves (Aged wings series )
Here is my box for the box Challenge
Banksia turned in one piece with no waste wood
To turn the leaves protruding from the wing I tilted the piece over in the chuck and placed a tapered wedge in the jaws to sit the spigot on.Hot melt glue was used as additional support.
Carved then Copper leaf applied then verdigreed followed by airbrushing
Lacquer finish
Comments welcome

It is a beautiful box but you should really post the pictures in the 'Critique pictures' section.

It would be tremendous if you would do a WIP here for a similar box (commenced not earlier than 1/8/09) so we could learn from your knowledge.

Sorry new to the site still learning the Ropes put this picture here

I mean it though, it would be great if you could do a WIP - even if it is for a simper box. That's a very complicated (and beautiful) box, if you could share some of the skills that would be great!

I'll put my hand up for a WIP as well. I have no idea how you did that!!!

Especially the leaves which stand up - I'd love to see them being done!

Sorry if my first post sounded unfriendly - it wasn't meant to, welcome to the forums!!

Timberly has a nice website too http://www.timberly.co.nz/terry.htm - some stunning work!

There is some info there on technique. A WIP on one of those manta ray forms would be great though!!
