Hayrake Dining Table

Dale, you're welcome. He is an interesting fellow for sure. I don't know enough about the Cotswolds but I wonder if it has traditionally been a place for the artists and craftspeople.
MH, thanks. You could build it with no glue. The tenons are wedge or draw bored. The original was built with the planks joined with butterflies and no glue would be needed for them. The butterflies look like two dovetails put together in an hourglass shape. The way they were done for the original table, they pulled the planks together as they were driven home.

So this morning I was experimenting with Photoshop Elements (it was free with my Wacom Intuous4) and I managed to get this:
I'm sure the way I did it was probably the hard way. I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to give me some pointers about the right way to get this sort of result. Solo suggested I look at a freeware app called Squirlz which I tried but I didn't like the results I got. I do appreciate the suggestion very much, though and I bet I can do some other interesting stuff with it.
If someone would be interested in giving me some tips, I would be grateful. It could be done in a separate post or by PM if desired.
Thank you.

http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/photoshop-fade-layer-mask shows how to 'fade' an image with a layer mask
You can make two scene tabs one with full rendered color and the other in white + lines and no shadows etc.
Import them both with the line as an overlay [erase all of the white so you see the colored version below].
Add the fade layer mask to 'vignette' the colored part as you have done... -
Thanks, TIG. I'll check out that link.

I LIKE that effect.

The Dave_R Method

Thank you Bryan.
Rich, here's the "Dave_R Method" tutorial. Open both images. Poke at this button. Try that slider. Make a new layer. Delete that layer. Make a new layer. Try this tool. Merge layers. Hit Ctrl+Z many times. Save.

WARNING: Genius at Work
Do you use PhotoShop?
-
Well, I have Photoshop Express because it came with the Intuous4. and "use" is not quite the right word.
I ought to take a class or something.

You'd take to it like fish to water. Give the trial a go. Or even GIMP or this
-
Thanks, I'll check that out. I've got Paint.NET that I muddle through with, too.

Hi Dave,
This idea to make this rectangular face at the and of the path and extrude it with pushpull tool is excellent
This complete tutorial ( Stopped Curved Chamfers ) can greatly simplify the process of carving a panel!!

Thank you Simon. I wish I could take credit for inventing it.
