Cattails and Reeds

[scmhogg]

This was in Wood Magazine, Issue 25.



The cattails are walnut dowels and the leaves/reeds are birch veneer dyed green. The instructions included a jig to shape the leaves.

Looks great! I bet you get a lot of compliments when you explain that you made it.

Steve,

That looks really great, now how about a wooden vase for them.

I used to subscribe to WOOD, but lost interest, if the stuff they're publishing now is a cool as your project, I may just subsrcibe again.

Very clever idea and looks good. I'm not to crafty with coming up with ideas like that.

[lrogers]

That is a very artistic project. A turned, segmented bowl would really top it off.

That looks great and a nice change. Very impressive.

[John Hunter]

That is neat.

nice! my wife liked it quite a bit.

we too have a green vase almost like that, so she looked over at me and said "that would look nice in our vase too".

That is very pretty, I love cattails.
