Here you can watch my progress as I create a plaque from a piece of rippled ash!

A riverside scene with kingfisher and a dragonfly. The rippled grain already gives a wonderful water effect and the bark edge will form surrounding tree branches. Here you can see the scene being sketched in. My pyrography machine is away for repair, so I will be working on the carving of this before returning to complete the first plaque.

Things have progressed! A mother of pearl moon and shell added onto the kingfisher to give that glint of turquoise. Just some final details to highlight...

The final plaque. I have added dragonflies with mother of pearl wings,
