|  Bouquet of flowers This weekend was my 5th anniversary. According to those who know that sort of thing, that's the "Wood Anniversary". Perfect  I made my wife a bouquet of five tulips (her favourite flower). The flower heads and leaves are compound cut out of poplar and stained with acrylic paint thinned by a stain base. The grain came through very nicely on most of the leaves, but was much more subtle (and not as interesting anyway) on the flowers themselves. --Rob (The vase is my work too, but not new and obviously not scrolled ) |

| Excellent work--on the tulips and the glass. Where did the pattern come from? Might just want to do one myself.
