Description
Making the Jack of Diamonds from wood has been a challenge that turned out to be far more tedious than I had anticipated. Wood playing cards have been around for quite some time, having one made from 5 different species of wood veneer is unusual. I have a mild fascination with the art on playing cards, so I had to do it in wood. Make no mistake, this is a digital illustration; I'm good at woodworking, but not that good!
The woods used to make these are as follows: Maple, Avodire, Bubinga, Birch, and Oriental Wood.
I try to keep it simple, but it never really works out that way. -YoPedro
