I have been itching to try and make some abstract art similar to what I have seen Fromaseed make. He is an AWESOME turner, power carver and artist. If you haven’t seen his work you should definitely check it out. Well, when Diablo sent me out some of there new saw blades to try, one being the Rough In/Scrolling Carbide Reciprocating Saw Blade I knew this would be a great time to try my hand at some abstract art, because I don’t have a band saw this blade should help me cut some curves and radius’ using my reciprocating saw… yup you heard that right!

This month’s challenge is an UPCYCLE challenge. An upcycle is basically recycling a piece and giving it new life or using it and adding on or taking away from it to give it a new purpose. I used to do a lot of these when I was first starting out. It is a lot of fun to head to a garage sale or thrift store find something that doesn’t look so good and make it AWESOME again. Here are a few pics of some of my favorite past upcycles.

This month my blogger friends and I decided to do a Wall Art Challenge, so I teamed up with my good friends from Bernzomatic to create an AWESOME DIY Tiki Wall Art creation. If you’ve been following along recently you know that I have a couple of new loves… power carving and Shou Sugi Ban and those loves are how I came up with the Tiki idea. I also thought Shou Sugi Ban would be the perfect finish on a power carved piece of wood to really highlight the textures and grain. So let me show you how I did it.
