Cliff, I really like the idea you have here. Is it possible to do one with blank leaves to allow me to use it as a "family tree", or possibly to do a tree with only naked branches and no leaves? I've been looking for a good family tree design that would allow the CarveWright to put the names on it. Thanks for the ideas.

I think it would be a bigger pain than the Bonsai. It was alot like finger painting, I started with a mid range grey the used a push tool to get the general shape. Working with the dodge and burn tool I worked out the shading trying to think backwards because what looks good to the eye on the screen is not what CW wants to see. You may want to do a majestic oak as a background and lighten up the areas when the names can be carved into the wood then branch them together with a faint line.

I'm currently working up a design for my wife for valentines day. Using a bark pattern I've found in the gallery, I've added a heart outline, with flowers in the center, and the text aound the outside of the heart. All made to look as if carved into a tree.
