Seeing moore than Wood
Hi Everybody,
The other day while I was cutting Timber for some clocks, I found this piece (See Pic) I was wondering what I could do with it, I am being told that I should do something arty,(read she wants something arty). I would appreciate some ideas, if any one has any
Thanks in advance.

I would carve the shape of an owl around the "eyes" and "beak"
that's already there.

In those knots, I can see an evil, red-eyed chook/vulture head.
Cut it out, glue it to the top of an oval-dialled clock as the body, a couple of taloned feet as the base... and maybe a speech-bubble saying "arty-farty my asre!"

It's a bit hard to see the timber, there's a sh*tty piece of pine in the way

There's just something about those faces in the pine. I ended up using two offcut boards very similiar to yours, as sides for another minature chest of drawers. I wonder what they would say, if they could talk

Owl/Chook/Emu Head
Thanks for the Comments guys and Girl,
Yes Mic-d there is a niece piece Tassie Oak behind there, I'm converting a round Pine table into a Square Tassie Oak one, I'll get a pic for you,
Hey Wendy If I had some more I would probably make something like that, where I got that piece he had a few 300 x 19 boards with some interesting features, i have been told that I need to make a shoe storage thingy, I'm thinking along those lines.
I Big funny looking Clock sounds like the go.
I'll keep you posted.

That would be great HazzaB. I have a lot of fun trying to work out how to make a feature of the knots and 'character' in the timber - not everyone's style - but it is certainly challenging, interesting and fun.
I'll look forward to seeing what fun you have
cheers
