A few new fish plaques I built this winter

Post by Mike N »

I cut the plaques out of 3/4” plywood and covered some with birch bark, maple veneer, gold paint or just stained cherry veneer plywood. The one is the reclaimed side panel of an old crate.

John- each one is carved wood- no resins or taxidermy.

Jon— Lol, I guess it would be more impressive if I could also carve a fish like those. I’m just a find it and build the plaque for it guy. I do love fish plaques for some reason, though.
