This board was inspired by an original by Wayne Barton. The foliated letter in particular has a rich, bold, adventurous design – characteristic of the author, I would say. It is stained basswood.
That’s a nice and interesting mix of styles, well done in my opinion! The shape of the foliated letter reminds me on a picture from instagram. An american chip carver called “saturdayboxco” posted one of his fine works, a “piggy bank”. The artwork was out of Charles Leland’s 1909 Manual of Woodcarving, according to saturdayboxco.
