The canvas and yellow glue worked well for the roll up.


After several years I managed to find a place for the leaves!!

If you find yourself with some extra time, speaking for myself, I would very much like to see your technique in fabricating those leaves.

Nice, should be well received.

Just beautiful!

I too, would love to see how the leaves were made. I can't tell, are they inlay?

Thanks for posting, Looks great!

I used the scroll saw to cut the leaf and the veins ,,,and then slice a very thin piece of walnut to fit the slot, I used rubber bands to hold it for the glue to dry.,,,,, once you cut the veins ,,,,you cant move it or they will break, sanding is very light,,, do the veins one at a time and be very very very very very care full. I seen them done once and the guy used a chisel to add contour .the maple on these was very soft so I left them the way they are to avoid chipping or breakage .
When I was done I think I had 3 hrs or so into each one.
was a fun way to spend a after noon.
