Mini-Soundwave

From the time I created Soundwave, I knew that I wanted to make a mini version of it. Made from reclaimed fence wood, Mini-Soundwave measures 3 feet wide and is 19 inches at its tallest point.

Pride Flag

This is the first installment of LGBT awareness pieces I created. This one is simply called Pride Flag and again is based on the Pride Flag designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978. It measures 34″ by 18″ and is 2″ thick. With the exception of the backboard, this is entirely made with reclaimed fence wood.

Pixelated Pride

I had a hard time trying to capture the brightness of my latest piece. It measures 16″ by 16″. There are 961 pieces, all hand painted one by one! It is all made from reclaimed fence wood. This is the second installment of a series I’m doing based on the Pride Flag designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978. I’ll post the first one once I finally get around to photographing it.

Branches

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.

Tree on Sunset

Here is my latest creation, Tree on Sunset. All of it made with reclaimed fence wood, including the frame! It measures 41″ wide by 20″ and is 2 1/4″ deep. I really like the contrast of the wood stain with the bright sunset colors. The tree is approximately 1/4″ thick, which gives it a little dimension.
