Framed Birch Slabs triptych

When cutting firewood, I occasionally set aside interesting sections of logs to slice up on my bandsaw, dry, flatten and surface, then find a use for them when inspiration strikes. The drying process takes at least 1 – 2 years, so there is time to work out ideas.  These frame-and-panel pieces hang on the wall to show off the grain, celebrate these trees and bring a little bit of their beauty into our homes.

These birch slabs all came from a tree that had broken up in a storm. I framed them as I would a frame and panel door to be hung as a triptych as shown in this photo. The two outer pieces measure 23-1/2″ X 32″ and the center one 22″ x 28-1/2″. Walnut frames and cherry butterfly inlays. Contact me if interested in purchasing.
$3,300.
