Time to try a wooden aquarium

[Santa Fe Discus]

Trying to cut a 3-d brake away.

Wasnt what I thought I would be doing

I used a router to make a channel for air line tubing. I used 1/2 tooth picks to secure it. My hope is to avoid silicone near tge tubing to keep the tube freely movable.

Siliconing it all in

Looking good so far

I originally wanted depth to the 3-d background by making several cut outs. I dont like the lack of texture. I read up on this version of Great Stuff and thought It would give it a try. This is not the direction I will be going with, but I thought I would post a few photos. Looks like roots. Gives me future ideas.

It reminds me of those "snakes" you could get at the firework stands when you light them.

Didnt carve down like a thought. Just looking for a little texture. Coated with epoxy. Well shave a few areas down, and see how it looks after I paint it.
