You don't need a tree! This kind of item would look great on a car rear view mirror, in the window of your kitchen or bedroom, hanging under any light fixture in your abode, or a thoughtful gift to a friend : )
A bit of beginners type woodworking projects - so far 2 earring trees, wood plaque of houses, and on the finishing end - 4 lawn birds, canvas type paintings - working on my first oil usually do acrylic, sewing craft type projects often my own patterns, and organic gardening.
Thanks, of course I don't do these all at the same time. I think your work is impressive. I auctioned of some carving books here recently; I wouldn't even tackle what you are doing. Oh I love to read too - have 100's of books ahead of me. I belong to a woodworking group online as well as a book exchange type group.
Go to Intarsia.com Judy gale Roberts is the one who inspired me. She has a tape on there, that will help you real good, I get magazines called woodworks and crafts, and scrollsaw and crafts. I was in both of those magazines. If you want me to e-mail me your address and I'll try to send you some things if I can.
