Make a mold with plaster then make some out of ceramic, my mom can paint or glaze them with the green you need to add and fire it. 
that looks impressive Mac, maybe you can get the same effect by painting the scales on or are you just simply trying to keep with natural wood tones and stain it? |

MAC - Make one side scaled and the other scaleless. Ship it to me and I'll let you know what I think after looking at the problem long term...

very nice. i'd lose the scales (or make them stand out less somehow), they take away from the stripes IMO

To me, the scales look too busy.

That's a nice piece of work! I like the scales but I wonder how it would look with just stripes.
Thanks for sharing.

Post a pic of the one your wife claimed w/out the scales, Dave. 
I like the ones without the scales and just the dashed lines/dots like you did last time.
Regardless - they are nicely done. I lack the patience to do something like that. Easier for me to pay some one to do it - hang it on the wall and enjoy it.
Down side is if I could do it well, my wife would volunteer me to make ones for other people .... LOL. :P
Leed's Farm which is about 1 mile west of me on Rt 9 east bound side - the daughter there does wood burning. She makes it look too easy. She just freehands everything w/out laying out it. Now and then they have an open house and she sits out there for a bit and entertains the kids that stop in while the parents poke around. They use to sell native honey that was awesome - unfortunately the bee populations locally have been hurt so they barely had enough for themselves so they didn't sell any this fall.  |
