Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.

Ken, you always say the nicest things. It's funny, when I posted these pictures, I was thinking "This picture ain't so great." I guess I've been looking at it too long!

Hiloboy, I do have a how-to with a horse head, but it's too big for Johanna to post. I have to figure out how to make it smaller! If you have any specific requests, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

When I do wood grain, I look at a piece of wood. What better pattern could there possibly be? I don't cut the grain, I use the modeling spoon on it. The more worn look you want, the deeper the impressions. Then I add light horizontal lines with a stylus to make it look more woody. Here's a frame I did some time ago.

very nice work

Well Done! That's Art!

Sure,

Just make the plank dividing lines deep and straight and the grain lines somewhat broken and wiggly. Very easy pattern and very effective. I use it quite a bit. Oh, the nails are just made with a stylus or any kinda pointy item. Hope this helps.

Awesome work!!

I can convert most files to PDF if that makes it easier to post. Just let me know and hopefully the file size will fit in an email. If not, there are otherways to move it.

Here is a wood pattern I converted to a B&W image if it helps.
