- I was cleaning up around the ranch and getting rid of some of the old wood I thought I would never use but then ran across a few pieces that caught my eye so I thought I'd try to put them to use and make some sort of wall art wood sculpture piece out of them.

Awesome detail and perfect workmanship. Really brings out the natural beauty in the wood. Quite amazing !!
Absolutely beautiful my friend. I've always loved the character old weathered wood has...you've given me new inspiration for more I can do with them, and how to keep them more stable and strong as I work on them. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching it come together
Many thanks for that awesome display of fine craftsmanship. I'll be making a similar frame to enclose the rear wheel/fender of a late 1800's Stearns bicycle. Thanks to you I now know how to stabilize the frame material.........
I love that you look for the beauty, in the wood, and work from that point, greatness
is hidden under the old dried out, stuff. Not done watching, yet. Keep experimenting, that shows creativity, that can be used later.
Love all your wood art pieces
Nice work. I love the creative energy that went into creating it.
awesome! I especially admire the RELEVANCE of the two pieces!!! Suspended in time, Suspended, Entwined... Love it!
Thanks Mark
Thank you for this video. I love working with wood like this, and sometimes I doubt myself, and you inspired me to push on.
Yea, its fun to work with rustic wood so keep pushing on.
So so beautiful. I have some reclaimed wood from pallets. I'm sanding it now trying to get some ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. I've been wanting to try epoxy to preserve some of the beautiful wood also.
Absolutely stunning!!!
Uwielbiam i podziwiam pana prpracod roku.Sa fantastyczne.Gratuluje.👍
Pretty cool weathered wood. That is a lot of work. I live by a lake and I'm constantly pulling art wood out of the water. Driftwood also. You've given me ideas. I like the big buffer with wire wheel.
I really loved it. I do European mounts and this was the perfect idea that I needed for a massive whitetail buck mount. Thanks so much. I subscribed to your channel
Your piece would look lovely if you combined epoxy. I've seen wonderful art combining wood and colored epoxy to!make it look like water flowing. Wonderful art addition.
You are a creative person ... I am interested in all your work...very goooooood
That is so cool!! U really have the artist touch. Love the cat !!
Thanks, I'll let Wooley (the cat) know :)
Couple of times I was scratching my. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic! I just came across your videos. This is the second one I've watched. Really enjoy them. I'm from Maryland, 3000 plus miles in the opposite direction. 👍
Amazing piece of art. Thank you to share the step by step.
Thanks!
Love it...very organic design
Hey Scott... another cool video (even the 2nd time around) where you are sharing, inspiring, and teaching others to connect to their artistic selves... me included. Although my wood is old cedar fence planks from nearly 50 years ago, it was extremely weather worn, full of worm holes from long dead bugs, complete with knots, knot holes, cracks, broken edges, etc., I had a feeling that throwing it out would be a bad idea, and that I might find some use for it down the road. A few months ago, I suspected that there might be some beautiful wood under that super rustic surface, so I sanded a piece down with a belt sander and 80 grit paper. I knew then, that I had something valuable to work with, art-wise, but it took a long time to get it to that point, and it still needed to be sanded with much finer grits before it would look like I wanted it to. So, it went on the back burner again until last month, when I bought a DeWalt 12.5 inch surface planer. It went through the old wood surface like a knife through butter. Just what I wanted. AND, then I employed a technique I saw you use on your art pieces... a stained backing board... which not only holds all the cracked pieces together, but it makes for a nice wall-friendly surface to mount brackets on. So, thank you for that wonderful idea. I just wanted to share with you, and I put up a link to your channel on my FB page, so my friends who are interested in such things can come by and be exposed to your work, ideas, and your incredible artwork!
I tried pasting some pics here, but copy and paste not working here. If you care to see them, message me with your email address and I will send you a few pics on the artworks you helped inspire! Take care!
Sounds good Bill. Yes, I'd like to see the pictures. My email address is in the About section on my channel. It says For business inquiries, view email address - just click the box and you'll see it. Looking forward to seeing your artwork :)
Wonderful piece of art; I love it and thanks for sharing. Greetings from Colombia.
Scott, you are the most unpretentious "teacher" of ideas i have seen in wood work vloggs...i have ideas for teaching local kids some basic skills not only about rescued timber but pebble and shell craft added to my timber pieces, truly will forward some pics soon..very inspiring fellow, John Thailand.
Thanks John :)
Really cool. I dig all of your videos.
Thanks!
Beautiful and inspirational ... I found some rotted wood on my property and it has to be made into art ... it has more texture and beauty than I could create with my copper. Great work!!!
For a moment I thought you were going to fit a mirror in that frame, I suppose the possibilities are endless. Well done, love the ideas, and great end result.
me too
Love your Art!
Thanks Brenda!
so awesome! Thank you for sharing! namaste!
Man I really like your paneled backing idea. I'm stealin' that one from ya. I love that old weathered wood. We have pretty good access to old delapidated barns here in the Ozarks of SW Mo.
Thanks for watching and you go ahead and use any ideas you want and make them your own. This is one of the reasons I posted this video. I want to share my ideas with others and that's the same reason I watch other peoples videos is to learn new ideas to use in my own art. You're lucky to have so many dilapidated barns in your area. I wish we had more around here. Good rustic wood can be hard to find.
I had some Manx cats while I was growing up. They're very unique and cool critters!
Yep, I like it. Very good.👍
Well done. Very creative. I like the way you set the inner piece to seem it had a side of a face in the frame. fits well on any rustic wall.George
Thanks George :)
first let me say what a great job !! after see your work i most likely will try something like it but what i will do is to first paint the 1/4 inch plywood with either a aging stain or maybe a watered down black paint then when i finish paint the back side with a black paint over all . thanks for the idea 's
Maravilhoso seu trabalho , great job , congratulations !
Coole Idee, coole Arbeit, coole Musik, coole Katze!!! SUPER !!!
Thanks!
Great Scott !!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks!
Nice one Will 👍
Great work!!
Thanks!
Вот почему мне нравится давать вторую жизнь старому и удивительно красивому в своей казалось бы ненужности... Мастеру здоровья и вдохновенья ☺☺☺
Super like!!! Bela atitude.Amei...
Love it.
Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Stan!
very nice piece ..... I used to do drift and pick-up wood collages . called them "wooden pizzas". ................. JRW
Wooden pizzas? Got any links?
Beautiful
Thanks, I appreciate that :)
This kind of old timber would be great for framing pictures & or mirrors
Good job :)
I like it!
Espetacular!
Thanks :)
Nice projects. Hoping your place survive the California fires.
I think there is something really magical about old weathered wood. I think of all time and weather it took to get that distressed. Just one offer of a tip. Try using a quick dry spray paint of a brown color before mounting your boards and that way the plywood won't show nearly so much. Just thinking. beautiful piece though.

ไอ ก้อ มี ไม้ เก่า เก็บ สะสม เอา ไว้ เป็น บาง ส่่วน เหมือน กัน ซึ่ง ล้วน แล้ว แต่ เป็น ไม้ ที่ แตก ลาย งา ตาม อายุ การ ใช้ งาน สวย งาม โดย จาก เป็น ธรรม ชาติ
So fun to watch! I noticed towards the end though, when you finished painting the plywood on the back, that the hole in middle piece looked like a heart shape! Also, that because you round out the back plywood, it looks pretty when you add the paint. What if...you painted the back a bright color or a bold color (maybe contrasting the wood) & make the piece REVERSIBLE?!?! I think it would look awesome! You'd have to figure out how to add a hanging feature, maybe. But the piece could lean up against a wall or on a mantle or shelf without need to hang. But making it reversible, would be like having TWO pieces! Just a thought...
Thanks. You have some great ideas. I don't if I'll ever end up making any changes to this piece since it seems to have found a semi-permanent spot on my wall but I may consider making a future piece reversible. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions :)
Nice!
Hi Scott, nice meeting you in Pasadena Estate Sale … Gus Hernandez 👍…
Good to meet you too. Thanks so much for your help loading the freezer, couldn't have done it without you! Next time you come to Ventura, let me know and you're more than welcome to stop by and see my "outdoor store" with the cargo containers where I sell lots of tools and stuff.
สุด ยอด สวย งาม ใน แบบ ที่ เป็น ธรรม ชาติ มาก มาก เลย ยู
You are greatly well gifted 🙏💞 in wood art. I would like to ask if you would make a lot more wood art with brighter colors, not so much dark. Thank you mucho gracias
Thanks. I appreciate that :) I plan on doing more pieces in the near future without polyurethane. Any type of finish seems to darken up the wood quite a bit. Sometimes its better to leave the wood all natural with no finish at all. But it is fun to experiment with different stains and finishes on occasion.
ไอ เอง ก้อ มี ไม้ เก่า เก็บ ที่ มี อายุ ผ่าน การ ใช้ งาน มา แล้ว น่า จะ มาก กว่า เป็น ร้อย ร้อย ปี เพราะ มี รอย แตก ลาย งา สวย งาม โดย เป็น ธรรม ชาติ ตาม อายุ การ ใช้ งาน ของ เนื้อ ไม้
I want that in my home.
I liked the center piece when you just finished grinding it the first time the best, @ 8:50, I liked the irregular shape. I would have glued or pinned it to a black canvas covered board, and done.
Well, that's the beauty of rustic wood work. There are so many things you could do with the same piece of wood and many ideas would work well and look good. Your idea would have probably worked very well with this piece.
Hi Scott, as a first comment I think on youtube, I would say 'thank you' for sharing your own commented effort in making this sculpture. Whatever the result, (I'm still wondering how to avoid the visible background wires to hold the center part), I think you were right in publishing this, since I just watched it. Take care. Bye
Well, one way to avoid the wires would be to not have them and hang the center piece separately. As you can imagine this would have its difficulties and drawbacks esp. if the piece was sold and the buyer had to hang the center piece separately and got the spacing wrong. One time I used plexiglass instead of wires to support the center piece. The only problem with this method is that the plexiglass was reflective so it didn't look right. Another thing that could be done is to use very thin wire or possibly very thick monofilament. Once again the big risk would be if the piece was sold and the buyer wasn't careful when handling it and the thin wire or monofilament broke. I think the best solution would be to paint the wire with the same paint as the wall color once the piece was in its permanent home. I wouldn't risk doing that myself since you never know what color wall it will hang on in the future. I move my art around quite a bit and it seems like the walls are always different colors.
Would fishing line work?
Gracias felicitaciones y siempre adelante
I am an Aussie who also loves to use wood in all forms. My wife always scoffs and laughs at some of the “crap” that I bring home but loves the finished product.
Sorry for my directness but the people criticising your work can take a long walk off a short pier. You’re creating art and therefore it speaks to you as you’re creating it. They do not do it, nor can most. I agree that your dialogue is a bit long, but I can understand why.
Honestly I would have gone a different direction to your path but I love your work. I’ve subscribed and liked as you have given me more ideas.
Keep up the good work as I love it. Thanks from “down under “.
Thanks Mark - Cool that you like working with the "crap" wood too. Sometimes the wood other people see as junk is actually some of the best stuff! As far as the criticism of the work, this was my second woodworking video and honestly, I never expected it to get too many views. I didn't have much experience making videos or editing when I made this so I was still finding my groove. Anyway, I really appreciate the positive feedback and thanks for subbin'.
Хорошая работа!!!!
you re marvelous
WOW ! ❤
That no tail cat tho jaaa nice
Completely agree with you. I've found the most interesting pieces of wood for sculpting in my back yards old lumber pile! It was discarded as firewood by previous owner... my gain!!😊
Very good !
Thanks :)

scott how about making some of those woods on resin..instead of grinding you're buffing..great job thou..
Hi Scott, I really enjoy the way you work with the so-called imperfections of wood. I'm just getting started with woodworking and am trying to figure out which tools I should invest in first, especially for chiseling, sanding, smoothing, enhancing the distinct personality of any given piece of wood. Could you do a video dedicated to tools?
I'm working on a few different wood art projects right now so as far as making videos those are my focus. I've thought about making videos about tools in the past - but don't know if I'll ever do it since making videos about art pieces is my main interest. There's a ton of videos dedicated to "best tools to start woodworking" if you search it on youtube. Some of the people that make those types of videos are very good at them and can do much better at them than me. If you watch a few of them, hopefully you'll get some good ideas about what tools to start with :)
Great
I am sure this piece inspired many viewers to GO DO SOME WOODWORK!! I’m tempted to start something myself. My dad was great at it, but I have not proven to have much (any) artistic talent. I make great face masks though - want one?
Yes, I hope so. I would encourage other's to do wood art whether they have talent or not - a lot of wood is art in and of itself - so to just cut a beautiful wood slice (and sand it and finish it) and hang it on the wall could be considered art (nature's art) - but to make a frame around it with more wood takes it to the next level. I have plenty of masks that I wear when I sand and grind so I don't really need one but if you want to make one and send it to me sometime that would be good - then I could use it when I'm sanding and grinding :)
A portrait of the Easter Island stone sculpture...
this will wreak havoc on the artist who is also a hoarder, I have a real hard time throwing out stuff, don't throw out the beautiful laurel wood, and if stressed it will grow weird......it is excellent firewood ,very high on the BTU scale
กว่า จะ ใช้ เวลา ใน การ ที่ แตก ลาย งา ของ เนื้อ ไม้ จะ ต้อง ใช้ เวลา ใน การ ที่ แตก ลาย งา โดย ที่ เป็น ธรรม ชาติ จะ ต้อง ผ่าน กาล เวลา มา เป็น นับ ร้อย ร้อย ปี หรือ อาจ จะ มี เกิน มาก กว่า เป็น ร้อย ร้อย ปี เลย ที เดียว
If i had a pile if scrap wood like that I was a dead man!
queeeee bellesa ermoso muy creativo
You might think about using a router with a 45 degree bit to cut back the edges next time it would make quick work out of it. Nice piece though! Can you tell me what finish you used? Thanks for ideas!
Yea, using a router with a 45 degree bit might be a good idea. I usually just bevel back the plywood edges with a flap disc on my grinder. A lot of times when I'm beveling back the edges I have to bevel through plywood with staples in it and the flap disc removes the metal without a problem. I used Zar oil based antique flat polyurethane as a finish.
I love your 🐱🐱
muito bacana seus trabalhos ficou top parabéns
Muito obrigado :)
holy crap...is this will ferrell's brother?

Great wood for bird houses. Frames look good
Good♡♡
How is the tool he uses to cut circulated or making rotations called?? I want to buy one of those tool!! Also your pieces of work really inspires me to create artworks!! I find it very satisfying to watch and the more I watch your videos, the more I learn about it. Great work!
Thanks. I believe you're talking about the jigsaw. This is one of my favorite tools. Very useful :)
You should have stained the plywood before you glued it onto the pieces of Barnwood, would have turned out a lot better job
What does something like this cost?
Beautiful work sir!!
Thank you. I don't think I could ever sell this one. This was the 3rd woodworking video I ever shot and I enjoy showing the piece to people when they visit. I'm also planning on showing it at some of my future art exhibits around town.
Hey everybody this is Scott!
Thanks for showing and the xplaining each particular,important step..I think I'll frame a tall mirror....thank you!
Sounds good. Best of luck to you on your project :)
how about hanging it as 2 separate pieces or using monofilament fishing line to eliminate the wire being seen?
Yes, these are both possibilities and good ideas, but here's why I like to use wires - When I build a piece of art like this I always think about what happens if I sell it and how its going to hold up over the years. Its very important that the center piece stays in position and doesn't get knocked out of place. With the wires I know its secure and will stay in position long term. With monofilament I would worry about how it would hold up over the years as the art piece gets moved around. I've considered using it in the past but if a piece breaks then I worry that it wouldn't be repaired correctly by the future owner. Hanging it as two separate pieces would also work but once again if I sell it I don't think the buyer would want to (or necessarily have the patience and skills to) hang the center piece exactly in the middle of the frame. Some buyers might but a lot probably wouldn't take the time to position it exactly where it needs to be. If the center piece is out of position then the art piece won't look as its intended to look.
This is beautiful! What finish did you use on top of the wood?
I used Zar interior oil-based antique flat polyurethane.
Wow !! That was fun and amazing to watch !! Did you surprise somebody with that as a gift? An Heirloom gift ??
Thanks. Actually it's hanging in the same spot as it is at the end of the video. I don't think I'm going to be giving this one away :)
In all it is a wonderful art form, It is a work of Art no doubt but it just misses greatness one and a half to two inches of air, it has become a one sided picture, and as a picture it needs more space to the frame, if there is wire it should show the wire, it would have completed the touch of technicism to bring out its naturalism.

That is cool ...do u do painting and resin as well ...u just getting into these things ...I love drift wood and started making stuff myself
Thanks. I do painting but not resin. Good to hear you're getting started making stuff :)
Прикольный кот...
Nice, what are the measurements of this piece? It looks to be 24" by 36"?
15 3/4"wide x 41"tall
cool. don't know how I got here but interesting.
Thanks, The same thing happens to me on CZcams. I'll be watching a video and think "How did I get here?"
hahaha...yeah I guess it happens to all of us. I have carved and worked in wood a little but I mostly work in various clays, make molds and cast them in resin or latex rubber. Right now into horror art but plan on moving onto garden art and would like to learn cement and welding and create kinetic wind sculptures and other types of outdoor statuary. Probably move into that phase in about 18 to 24 months.
what are you using to initially "sand" the rough boards? Flap discs? if so, what grain? Thanks.
I initially wire-wheeled the rough boards. I used flap discs on the backer boards - probably 36 or 40 grit (or both) - these are the most common grits I use.
