Woods

Here are some more woods I've just finished. Originally i purchase very small rare-earth magnets, and embedded them into each side of the tree and base. These magnets are very strong. Strong enough to hold the trees upright on the bases. It was perfect. Then I flocked the trees, and the flock and glue increased the tree weight enough that the magnet could no longer hold....it was disasters. I had to dig out the magnets and reattach the trees permanently to their bases. Ah well. Live and learn. heheh

Closeup of a single stand, I think I made 14 or so.Here they are, I cut out felt material in random shapes to delineate the edge of the wood.

Here's a birds-eye view, that's a 6-foot coffee table.

A bit closer view. They look pretty good.
