Just Wow

The look of this tree just got better and better as I added colors. That isn’t always the case, BTW. The viridian green branch sections are treated, in an alternate fashion, to a silver wash. This gives not only a contrast in color but in texture, as the wash treatment really pops the red oak grain structure. The classy gold finial and substantial trunk, left natural, bookend all that excitement in a very attractive way. A gloss finish is all that’s left to be noted. Oh, and red oak is a pretty dense wood, so this tree has a nice weightiness to it.
