Beginner/Intermediate Level  Watermelon 10 x 8½”  51 pieces Pears 10” x 8½” 33 pieces.  Fruit Series: Watermelon & Pear with checkerboard frame. A wood-burner was used to add the watermelon & pear seeds. A Wonder Wheel  was used for adding texture.  Woods Used:  Various shades of Western Red Cedar for the background, Aspen for the White, Yellow Heart, Pink My Lady.  Woods Used on  this watermelon: Red Heart, two shades of Green Poplar, Spalted Maple background, Buckeye for the shadow, Aspen for the white. I remade the melon because I had some great green poplar.
