Thanks Jeff! The tree was just a piece of scrap aluminum that I cut a filed down to the shape you see. Drilled a couple of holes for the screws and used some small washers for support.

Looks real nice. I plan on building a guitar for my neighbors, they own a winery, that design would fit pretty good, if I made grape leaves. Ought to get me a case or two of wine!

Thanks fellas! I enjoy the doing wood burning part of the work. I usually don't even know what I'm gonna do until I start!

I've got to practice some wood burning. The guitar was nice to start, but the decoration really adds something to it. Well done!
