I just realized I never documented my Phoenix Graft Project/progression. I found this dead cedar branch in the woods, and I fell in love with the scales, and the horn-like shape of it. I took it home and spent hours scraping out all of the insect damaged wood, and shortened the left branch with pliers and sandpaper to keep the natural look.
After the work was done I hit the whole piece with lime sulfur mixed with a few drops of grey paint. The next day I applied wood hardener to the base and the insect damaged areas.
These pictures are of the original branch fresh out of the woods, followed by progression pics, and finally what I was envisioning for the initial styling.
