Wow, that is excellent! Are all the woods natural color, or did you use some stain? They look really natural, but the reds of the hibiscus are redder than I'd expect. How'd ya do it? I really like the palm trees, the way you used the grain on them looks great. It feels kinda like a puzzle - I want to number all the colors and guess the woods. :) |
