I was inspired to make this as I was looking out my window and noticed how the window framed the tree outside. I didn’t see the trunk or the leaves; only the branches were visible. I sketched the vision best I could and came up with this piece. I used reclaimed fence wood strips glued up and cut and carved out the rest. It measures 70.5 inches by 18.5 inches and 1.25 inches thick.
Here is a shot of my sketch.
Here, I had just finished making all the rough cuts.
Nice and smooth.
And this is just after the top coat was applied.
