Proof that DIY doesn't have to be ugly and utilitarian like most of my crap...

Nice work. Can't wait to see it on the stand.

I did some more work on this project - here are the plants and a snail that will flank the fish.

I think I'm done with the scrollsaw. Now, I have to sand each little piece till I'm numb, and laquer them. I might add some detailing with the dremel - have to experiment on scraps with my big collection of bits.

Wow...the snail and plants are excellent! (and the angel too, of course!)

That is going to look amazing when it is on your stand. Two very big thumbs up!!!

Just beautiful. Which woods are used on the Amazon sword? Have you considered making some of the richer colored crypts, like C. wendtii var "bronze?" Awe inspiring project!

Absolutely incredible. Your work is amazing. I cant wait to see the finished product.

Thanks for the kind comments, all!

czcz, from left to right, the woods used for the sword leaves/veins are:
sycamore/lacewood, grenadillo/mohagony, zebrawood/bocote, spalted aspen/bocote, purpleheart/padauk, bubinga/bloodwood.

I've almost got the whole fish sanded.
